Mark Landing has a very difficult job to carry out within the next week. As the leader of Plimpton’s Neighborhood Hero Award Committee (NHAC), Mark must obtain a vote from ten NHAC members to determine which of three candidates will land the monetary award.<br><br>While interviewing each candidate, Mark finds one of them, bar owner and part-time roofer Cane Mercer, steamy-attractive. Not only is Cane handsome and easy to talk to, he’s a hero. He rescued three children from an accidental house fire a few months earlier. Hero or not, Cane flirts openly with Mark.<br><br>There’s one little problem, though. Anyone who knows Mark knows he’s Mr. Clueless when it comes to picking up men, dating, and falling in love. Will he end up with the hot and steamy roofer/bar owner, or will he forever be single and Mr. Clueless?

Mr. Clueless

“Tell me something grittyabout Cane Mercer. I don’t want to be Mr. Clueless.”


He chuckled. “You’re slowly coming to my dark side, Luke.”


“Stop with the Star Warsshit. You know it drives me crazy.”


“First, I’ve heard Cane is extraordinary in bed. Second, he’s big in the package area. And finally, he likes to cuddle after sex.” He placed the beach scene picture frame on the coffee table, continuing his decorating. “Now that you know this, I’m sure you’re upset that you didn’t have an afternoon delight with him.”


“He didn’t want to have an afternoon delight with me,” I fussed.


“You’re so blond, adorable, and clueless. Such a shame, young man.”


“Stop!” I snapped at him. “You’re filthy.”


“And knowledgeable about Cane. I’m sure he wanted to tap your bottom. He’s a ferocious animal for bottoms. Hungry. Too bad you can’t read men who want to sleep with you. Maybe it’s why you’re single.”
