He parties hard and fights harder, but if he doesn\u2019t clean up his act, his career is over\u2014so Cole reluctantly agrees to work with image makeover consultant Savannah Brooks. He\u2019s not used to being told what to do, especially by some (admittedly hot) Southern belle. As for Savannah, she\u2019s not convinced she can transform this cocky (and aggressively sexy) force of nature. But she\u2019s determined to give it her best shot.<\/p>\n<p>When the sparks start to fly, Savannah lays down the ground rules: no personal complications. If she can turn off the tingle she feels every time Cole gives her a hot stare with his gorgeous baby blues, he can turn off his desire as well. But for two people determined to have it all, a hands-off policy can only last so long before one of them yields.<\/p>\n<p><em>**Click cover image for buy links and complete book info.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-9343\" data-postid=\"9343\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-9343 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, I have to say, I did some serious drooling when I saw this cover (still mesmerized by those lips). *Shakes head to clear the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,27],"tags":[216],"class_list":["post-9343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-berkley","category-giveaways","tag-contemporary"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
