The Doctor's Valentine Dare

How to win a girl in five datesJosie Campbell says she doesn’t date doctors. But brilliant neurosurgeon Noah Anson has never met a situation he couldn’t control or a woman he couldn’t charm. Winning over the beguiling beauty is a challenge he just can’t resist!Long considered the black sheep of her family, Josie is back to try and mend fences. And nothing would bring her parents to her side like dating a sexy doctor! But not even Josie can resist Noah’s tempting proposal of five dates to win her over. By Valentine’s Day, Cupid might just have a closer grip on Josie than she’d ever imagined…

“You’re a doctor,” she added for clarification, then flushed.

Perhaps her father had been onto something with all his “think first” admonishments.

“Not for tonight,” Noah said smoothly, taking her arm and moving them in the direction of the back of the house. “Tonight let me be simply the man in the black mask, who you enjoy kissing.”

“I do not, ah, did not—”

One look from those brilliant blue eyes stopped the protest. She couldn’t deny the explosive chemistry between them any more than she could control the shivers his touch elicited.

“Are you suggesting we pretend to be people we’re not for the evening?” Though she found the thought intriguing, Josie knew she must have misunderstood. There was no way this straitlaced, serious doctor would suggest something so daring.

An emotion she couldn’t quite decipher flickered in the depths of those amazing blue eyes. “Interested?”

“I don’t even know you.” Josie Campbell gazed up at the tall, broad-shouldered man in bewilderment. “Why would I agree to go out with you?”

“How else can you get to know me?” Noah Anson shot her a charming smile showing a mouthful of straight white teeth. With jet-black hair, a just-short-of-olive skin tone and bright blue eyes, the effect was mesmerizing. Toss in the cashmere topcoat, dark hand-tailored suit and red Hermès tie, and, well, it was quite a tempting package.

From his confident demeanor, Josie surmised the man’s past efforts to pick up women had met with great success.

Tempting for most women, Josie reminded herself. Not for her, because of several reasons, including the most obvious. “You’re a stranger.”

“I introduced myself.” Noah spoke with barely suppressed impatience. He gestured with his head toward the counter. “If you require a personal reference, Cole will vouch for me.”

Cole Lassiter, owner of the Hill of Beans coffee empire, stood behind the counter. At the moment, the successful entrepreneur was busy instructing one of his staff.
