    Lip gloss, eyeliner, eye shadow, nail polish? Back in the small town where I grew up, a boy would have never dared to dress like him. When an assignment to create a video news segment from one of our professors places us both in the same group, personalities clash, and what started as fascination on my part turns into instant dislike, which he seems to immediately return. He's smart, quick-thinking, creative…but also snarky, moody, defensive, and basically the complete physical opposite of every guy I've ever been attracted to. And yet, despite the fact that I think he needs an attitude adjustment, and he thinks I'm just a backward country hick, I've quickly come to realize that sometimes the line between love and hate really is paper thin.P.S. An HEA would definitely be preferred to an HFN ending. Photo Description: Two young men stare at each other through a chain-link fence.

     Josie Smith, a hardworking waitress at the Highland Grill, doesn't believe her friend's prediction that Josie's life is about to change. So what if her horoscope says she's about to meet one, maybe two, mysterious strangers? They'd probably just be bill collectors. Mysterious men she could do without. The last guy she dated was mysterious, all right—he was a pathological liar. And the one before that did nothing but take jabs at her plus-size, curvy figure. But when her friend points out Lucas and Dan, the two hotties who've become regulars at the Highland Grill, Josie can only laugh. Sure, they're sexy as sin with their black leather jackets and big, shiny motorcycles. But sadly, she isn't exactly their type. She'd caught them in a scorching-hot embrace in the parking lot one night, and even Josie isn't foolish enough to pine away over two gay guys.

They want the curvy waitress with the kind smile and the warm eyes—and they intend to do whatever it takes to get her.
