Has Romance?

The romance is a central focus of the story, with significant development between the protagonists.

From The Publisher:

He's hot. Like, stop breathing kind of hot with his killer body, vivid blue eyes, and constant five o'clock shadow.

Did I mention his body?

Watching Hollis Knightly, Olympic diving gold medalist, man-pony specialist-and cocky bastard-stand up on the diving platform in nothing but a small piece of Spandex? Yeah, I'm beguiled.

And easily seduced.

I want to keep things light but he won't leave me alone. And hell, if he's not wearing me thin.

What is supposed to be a simple summer fling with a very hot man, has now morphed into a f*cked-up mess of feelings, attachment, and dare I say it…love. But I don't do relationships. And Hollis Knightly does.
