Summary:

IT’S NOT EASY BEING RIGHT

Vanessa Campbell is a CPA by day and a perfectionist by night. She’s fit, successful…and decidedly lonely. She can’t stop thinking about the youngest McCauley brother, Cameron. He’s just like her: smart, attractive, and usually right—except when dealing with her.

…BUT SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT

Cameron McCauley likes Vanessa a little too much. She’s a blond goddess with a razor-sharp tongue. She hates to be wrong, just like him. But she can hold a grudge and is stubborn to a fault—also like him.

A past disagreement has them rubbing each other the wrong way. Cam is dying to shake Vanessa up—get her to let loose. But if he succeeds, can his heart handle it?

Caffeine addict, boy referee, and romance aficionado, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Harte is a confessed bibliophile and devotee of action movies. Whether hiking in Central Oregon, biking around town, or hanging at the local tea shop, she’s constantly plotting to give everyone a  happily ever after. Visit www.marieharte.com and fall in love.

Before Vanessa knew it, she was seated at the dining table and she’d finished a second glass of wine.

He’d put out candles and flowers while they talked, and she had to admit he’d really set the mood for Valentine’s Day.

“You did a great job.” She nodded at the plate of angus filet, with arugula salad and a baked squash casserole that he placed in front of her.

He grabbed himself a full plate as well and sat across from her. “Thank you. I hope the candles and flowers are okay. They frame you with a romantic light.” He winked. “Of course, when Flynn saw me in the store buying them, he called me an idiot. Said that you wouldn’t appreciate the roses. Cliché, I know. But I like the smell.”

“Flynn’s a moron. I love them.” She wanted to kick him for teasing Cameron, who’d gone out of his way to be nice. “Besides, I happen to know he bought Maddie a full bouquet of them, and gave her a stupid little card with some schmaltzy, cutesy poetry on it. Embarrassing.”

Cameron laughed. “Yeah. They all give me crap for being the sensitive one, but who do you think they go to when they strike out with their girlfriends? Cam, that’s who.”

She smiled. “Well, I might not be the go-to girl for romantic advice, but trust me, when my roomies need a way to figure out tough problems, I’m the answer-man. So to speak.”

“See? Competence kills.”

They shook their heads and commiserated over being so efficient. It was so nice to talk to someone who understood her. Even appreciated her. She watched Cameron eat and even liked the way he cut his food. Oh boy. Her appreciation for the man had grown from a stupid crush to like to deepening affection. She felt it taking hold but had no idea what to do about it. Then she figured, what the hell? It was Valentine’s Day. No need to worry about feeling lovey-dovey. The season brought it on. But surely to reward him, she might have to make that fantasy of his come true later. The one where she didn’t do his taxes for him…on her knees.

Cam had guessed correctly on the flowers and candles but resolved to not show her the card he’d bought for her. The chocolates… He still had no idea what to do about them.
