Seduced by stratton, the english brothers #4 : the English Brothers, #4

Seduced by Stratton is the fourth of six books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome English brothers who are all on the look-out for love. Stratton English knew what his brothers said about him: I dont think hes ever had a girlfriend. (Barrett) I dont think hes ever had sex. (Alex) He always friend-zones himself. (Fitz) Hes just not smooth around women. (Weston) It often occurred to Stratton to set them straight and tell Barrett that hed had a couple of girlfriends in college, though they didnt last very long. While he was at it, hed tell reformed lothario, Alex, that while hed had sex, he wasnt in the habit of sleeping around. Smiling affectionately as he thought of his favorite brother, Fitz, hed have to agree that he had a problem with being friend-zoned, and while Weston was right in general, being incredibly awkward around women wasnt the primary reason Stratton was single. The simple fact was this his heart was already taken. ___________________ *All books in The English Brothers series are approximately 50,000 words/200-pages long. The RWA classifies this length as "Short Contemporary Romance." Stratton English, the hottest, youngest, most devastatingly handsome CFO in Philadelphia, has a problem: women make him nervous. Really nervous. Catastrophically nervous. Socially awkward to an extreme, he's apt to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind, and it's rarely something a woman wants to hear. Quietly in love with his neighbor, Amy, he has no idea how to make his move, but he is committed to figuring out a way to seduce her. Valeria Campanile, who Stratton knows through one of his four brothers, is a PhD candidate who moonlights as a dance instructor on the side. Ironically, even though Val studies Courtship Rituals, she can't seem to find herself courted. Pursued by boys from the "old neighborhood"; who promise to overlook the fact that she's so smart, she longs to meet someone who romances her mind as well as her heart. When Stratton helps Valeria with a financial problem, she is anxious to return the favor. But will Stratton, who needs Val's expertise to win Amy, find himself seducing Val instead?
