“What did you see?”
Cathy blushed, coming across a tad too indignant for a woman who was half out of her bra.
“I saw everything.” Zack’s lips grazed her tilted chin, followed the line of her neck to her delicate collarbone. “I saw these.” He closed both hands over her breasts, kneading until an arousal nearly as hot as his own was radiating from her in shimmering waves. “I saw you.”
She gave a deep sigh and leaned against him, her body lax. “Kiss me again,” she said, parting her lips and cutting the last string of his control.
With a groan, he covered her mouth with his and ground his body against hers.
“I can’t take this,” he said, wrenching away. “Either we go home now or wind up flat on the dirt floor.”
She glanced down, then lifted her gaze to his. “I guess I’m too practical not to prefer a bed.”
He pressed his fingertips to her swollen lips. “Then hold that thought,” he said, silently thankful that he still had the Jaguar parked outside.
Zero to ninety in a matter of seconds sounded almost fast enough….
Dear Reader,
Remember your first crush? Maybe it was on Davy Jones or Kevin Bacon or Brad Pitt. And maybe it was on the cutest, most popular boy in the fifth grade….
Cathy Timmerman remembers her first crush, Zack Brody. And when she returns to the town where they first met, she learns that he’s grown up even better than she’d imagined—in fact, the man is a legendary Romeo! It turns out that a group of Zack’s old girlfriends are looking for a woman to give the “Smooth Operator” a taste of his own medicine. Cathy—no longer the chubby social outcast—finds herself volunteered. But can she really seduce Zack…and then leave him? Especially when he’s even better in person than in her dreams?
Happy reading!

Prologue
FOR SUCH AN ordinary middle-American town, Quimby had its share of legends. There was the ghost who haunted the clock tower of the old stone courthouse. There was Eunice LaSalle, the 1962 prom queen who’d gone to Hollywood and costarred in an Elvis beach flick. Reputedly, a monster muskie lived in Mirror Lake and nibbled on the toes—or various other bobbing appendages—of unwary skinny-dippers. And on one unforgettable night in 1985, the Quimby Kingpins had beaten the Buxton Bluejackets with a half-court lob at the buzzer, 53 to 52.
Then there was Heartbreak.
Zachary “Heartbreak” Brody, aka The Smooth Operator.
A man who was a legend in his own time, according to the female half of Quimby’s populace.
And they would know.
As it happened, the five women who’d been most seriously “Heartbroken” gathered every Wednesday
