Every word out of Grady's mouth sounds calculated, and Colin isn't going to fall for his insincere charm.  Grady has never cared about the Heart to Help Charity before, and Colin isn't going to stand by and let this important cause be used for Grady's self-aggrandizing.<br><br>For his part, Grady wants only the best for his grandmother's favorite charity. Confused by his cold reception, alone in a strange city, and fascinated by a man who seems to want nothing to do with him, Grady is at loose ends. Until Colin gives an inch, and Grady knows he can have so much more than that if Colin would only see the man he truly is ...

The Heart to Help

“Colin, are you sure that’s a good idea?”


“Yes. You know how tequila makes me.”


Grady’s mouth slanted. “Now this I have to see.”


The second round went down easier, though Grady decided then and there he wasn’t going to drink enough to lose any more details of the night to come. Colin’s eyes were brighter, some of the tension in his jaw eased, and Grady’s mouth watered at the prospect of licking along that sharp line. His beard looked downy soft, an impossibility for sure, but tempting nonetheless. He grabbed a lemon wedge from a nearby condiment bowl to try and stifle the urge.


“Why don’t you two dance?” he suggested. “I can guarantee Gwen doesn’t have cooties.”


Gwen reacted first, taking Colin by the hand and dragging the amenable boy to a clear spot on the dance floor.
