    He’s a billionaire game designer. She’s the Las Vegas showgirl. With their ten-year high school reunion coming up, can he prove to her they belong together? 
    Anthony: I fell in love with Lola our freshman year, but as a geeky pre-teen, I didn’t have a chance with her. Now I’m a game designer and one of the richest men in the world, but I never forgot about her. When I get invited to our 10 year reunion, I have an excuse to look her up, only to find she’s here and on a dozen billboards I pass coming in and out of Vegas. She might not look the same, but is she the same quirky girl I’ve fantasized about over the years? And will she like who I’ve become?  
    Lola: My name is Lola, and yes, I wear yellow feathers in my hair. When I’m not performing as THE Las Vegas showgirl, I’m the same closed off goth chick I was in high school with a giant neon sign over my head that reads, Don’t-Try-Me. So when a guy pays $25,000 to meet me, obviously I’m suspicious. Only, I don’t expect him to be the sweet guy I went to high school with. Nor do I expect him to invite me to our 10-year reunion as his date. Does he want me or the showgirl on his arm? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.
