“A Jill Shalvis hero is the stuff naughty dreams
are made of, and Pace Martin is no exception.”
—New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson

Not for Publication

The next day, she still hadn’t heard any news from Pace, or about Pace, and she wondered what the final outcome on his shoulder injury was. She wondered how he was.

Going stir-crazy, she grabbed her camera and headed to the Heat’s facilities. She told herself that she needed some pictures of the team, but if she ran into Pace, so much the better. They had a few things to discuss.

Okay, maybe it was just her. She had a few things to discuss.

And she wanted her underwear back.
