In this sexy romance, the legendary New York Times bestselling author introduces a feminist beauty who challenges a Boston bachelor's ideals—and heart.



After her uncensored comments about a certain Boston playboy make headlines, reporter Lexie Templeton knows there will be hell to pay. Rome Lockwood—even more irresistible in the flesh—shows up at her office to accuse her of starting a smear campaign. Appalled by her powerful attraction to the magnetic businessman, no one is more surprised than Lexie when she throws down the gauntlet. She challenges Rome to prove he isn't the macho, double standard-dealing male she believes he is by going on a date with her.



To Lexie's shock and dismay, Rome gladly accepts the challenge. He's determined to prove he isn't the man she thinks he is. Much to the contrary—he's the perfect man for her.
