Synopsis:
Vivian Fitzpatrick is a big dreams girl stuck in a small town.
She likes her job, and she adores her friends, but there’s a tiny part of her that still wants adventure. Wants all the unfulfilled dreams to come true. She still wants to base jump and skydive and do everything her ex-boyfriend said she was too chicken-shit to do.
Which is probably how she ends up moonlighting for a phone sex line.
Matteo Soto is just trying to figure out how to live again.
A bomb in Iraq left half his unit dead, and Matteo broken. He puts on a good act--the rookie at RCPD, taking care of his dead best friend’s family. But it feels too much like going through the motions, too much like marking time.
He needs a reason to get up in the morning.
She needs to feel alive.

*Excerpt*
He’s got Daisy with him when he approaches me in the park. I grin, reaching down to pet her because she’s not working right now and her eyes are so bright and happy that I can’t not.
“Thought you were gonna call me,” I say, fondling her ears and pointedly not looking at him.
“It’s such a pretty day,” he says, “Thought we could do this in person. Less miscommunication that way.”
I flick my hair out of my eyes and straighten, smirking at him. “What on earth could we possibly miscommunicate?”
He grins and lets his gaze skate over me. I didn’t dress up, just slid on some worn shorts and a tank top.
“You want me,” he says without missing a beat.
I arch an eyebrow. “I don’t want a relationship,” I say, point blank, because I don’t. I’ve spent too many years in a relationship and I’m not ready to go back to that. I’ve liked the freedom of not being tied to one person, to having my empty house and no one to judge me for leaving my books in a messy pile by the couch.
I want to fuck Matteo, have wanted that since he walked into my call room behind Miguel weeks ago, but I have no desire to put myself into another relationship.
He shifts closer, hands braced on my hips. His mouth is damn close to mine, hovering just a little as he says, “I didn’t say you did. I said you want me.”
“So?”
“So...” He licks his lips, the flick of his tongue making me want to press forward into him, lick him open. “Sex. No strings, just friends, scratching an itch.”
I blink at him. I didn’t expect that. I expected an argument, a you deserve better than this and you want a relationship or this is unhealthy.
I make a face, dismissing Jax and my mother’s voice. “No strings?”
“No strings,” he says, his voice slick and smokey, full of promise.
