Shapely & Stunning

Love isn’t in the realm of possibility for Lexi Mack. After her parents manipulated her love to get their way before and after their divorce, she knew love wasn’t something she ever wanted. It would just leave her hurt, and she’d had enough pain to last a lifetime. Sex was another story though. Lexi could handle that. She needed it, and Mike Peterman was the perfect man to help her get that release. Until Mike wants to change things. When he becomes her boss, she’s ready to end their friends-with-benefits relationship, but he wants to take things to a completely different level. Can Lexi get over her opposition to love, and dating the boss, and let Mike in? Or is she destined to be alone forever? "In the mirror she's fat. In his eyes she's fine. After her ex insults her and breaks up with her, Sam is determined to show him exactly what he missed out on. Sam's hurt, but Sam's no push over. She's equally mad, too. And determined to make him eat his words. Questioning if any man will ever look at her like she's beautiful, Sam joins a local gym. She's led around by Brady, the gym's owner, and is more than a little intimidated by him. His intensity scares her, but something about him intrigues her more than she cares to admit. When Brady defends Sam and tells her she's beautiful, she struggles to accept his words. As Sam works to figure out who she is, and what she really wants to do with her career and life, Brady's strong and silent presence builds her confidence. Until Brady dismisses her, making her think he's just as bad as her ex. And that she'll never find someone who truly cares for her."--Back cover I'm going to make him eat his words. So what if my ex thinks I'm fat? He doesn't know what he's missing. But I joined a gym and I'm going to show him. First step, ignore the sexy and intense owner of my new gym. He intrigues and intimidates me at the same time. The way he watches me makes me wonder if he's trying to find a way to kick me out. I can't handle another guy rejecting me because of my curves. Then he throws out other clients for making me feel like crap. And kisses me. He's not like any guy I've ever met. He's strong and silent and a whole lot of alpha. Maybe a little too much for me. He gives me confidence and defends me and makes me believe I can do anything. I've never felt this way. That's good though, right?
