Blurb:
Victoria is sticking
to her five-year plan: get married, have children, and become the youngest vice
president in town. Problem is, she’s four years in with no husband or kids in
sight. She’s sure her coveted promotion is right around the corner, though. All
she has to do is impress her boss by catching the person responsible for
leaking confidential information.
Trent may be the head
of the IT department, but he leaves himself plenty of time to have fun with no
strings attached. Too bad his best friend Victoria is still following the
ridiculous plan she created in college—she’s beautiful, smart, but far too
uptight for his lifestyle. When Victoria takes the blame as the leak at the
office, he’s determined to help clear her name and expose the person getting
past his security measures.
Suddenly out of a job,
Victoria is desperate to get her life back on track. When her childhood friend
Trent—funny, good-looking, and completely wrong for her—suggests they team up
to catch the culprit, Victoria jumps at the chance.
As the pair sorts
through suspects, their mutual attraction becomes undeniable, and they find
themselves struggling to remember that they’re just friends.
Sometimes life has
other plans…
EXCERPT;
Victoria
smiled. “At least you have someone to fight with. I go home to an
empty apartment. Some days I’d give my right arm to have someone to
fight with me about something inane.”
Sue took
a sip of her wine. “Oh, come one. You’re going to tell me you
don’t do that with Trent? Every day?”
Victoria
pulled her hand away and poked at her salad.. She gave a snort.
“Trent? What—because we argue we must be made for each other?”
“You
know what they say about opposites?”
“There’s
opposite and then there’s poles apart. I don’t know when he’s
going to settle down. Party. Late nights. Bars. That’s all he is
interested in.”
“Just
because you’re an old soul doesn’t mean he has to be one.” Sue
cleared her throat. “And you know what, sweetie. Sometimes
opposites attract because they complement each other. I’ve seen you
two together. At the core of it, you both share the same values.
You’re both loyal. You like to help others. You’re both honest
and caring. That’s kept your friendship alive how many years now?”
“It’s
not friendship, it’s called I can’t seem to get rid of him.
Everywhere I look, he is there. School…then college…now we even
work in the same place.” Victoria wiped a hand across her brow.
“The only thing Trent and I have in common is a lot of memories.”
“You’re
wrong.” Sue pushed her empty salad plate away and dug out a fresh
roll. “Trent is the only guy who makes you laugh. You forget that
I’ve seen you guys at work at and at play. You’re so at ease in
his company that it brings out the best in you. With the other men
you date…well, you’re not yourself.”
