Wheeler Ridley is used to having men fall into his lap at a snap of his fingers. He's gorgeous, well-to-do, and absolutely clueless about commitment and what it takes to have a serious relationship. Which makes the fact that he wants such a thing with his relationship-phobic crush, Gregory Wang almost unheard of. And yet ...<br><br>Gregory runs the daycare center across the street from the gym owned by Wheeler, and he has a reputation in the tiny beach town for being the "ice queen." Although he's interested in Wheeler, Gregory refuses any overtures and leaves frustration in his wake.<br><br>When Wheeler saves the life of one of Gregory’s daycare kids, Gregory sees him in a new light. Together, they work to forge a new beginning: one man learning how to think with his heart; the other figuring out how to let the past go and let ... love.

Can't Buy His Love

Sighing, I filled the hot tub, turned on the jets, and soaked my body for a long time as I sipped mineral water in between taking Tylenol. Right before the incident, I’d had a sizeable lunch, which was feeling a little unsettled at the moment. I hoped it would pass. Later that afternoon, as I lay on my couch in the living room watching bad TV, there was a knock on my door. Groaning with each movement, I got up to see who it was.


My friend Tory walked past me and into my house the minute the door was open. “Wheeler, what the hell?” he asked, looking me over from head to toe.


“It’s not that bad. I’ll be sore for a while, but nothing’s broken.” I made my way slowly back to the couch and lay down again.


Tory muted the TV and sat in a nearby chair. “You should go the emergency room and get checked out to be sure you didn’t, maybe, bruise your kidneys or something.”
