From the moment Colin Braugher meets millionaire Grady James, he has the other man's number -- spoiled, obnoxious, and worst of all, fake. 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

“Hey,” Grady said, that easy smile reminiscent of the night before and too many moments before that. “I didn’t expect to see you today.”


Colin blinked and resisted the temptation to rub his eyes. He needed to think of something more intelligent to say than um. He kept focusing on all the wrong details. Like the fact that Grady was freshly shaven and his collarbone was just visible over his shirt.


Grady gestured toward the laptop. “I had some work I wanted to catch up on. And honestly, I didn’t have anything better to do today. What’s your excuse?”


“Tax receipts.” Colin gestured vaguely at his cubicle. “I promised Gwen I’d get them mailed by Monday.”


“That’s very…diligent of you.” He smiled. “Not that that surprises me.”


“Yeah, well. I’m just going to be…” Colin rubbed the back of his neck and turned away, but he couldn’t take the first step. Not quite. “Did I puke on you?”


The smile widened. “No. You tried. But you hit the bushes instead. Disappointed?”
