The highest bidder

the long version

It's no accident that Tristan Rexford is nicknamed T-Rex. As a quarterback for the California Predators, he's a hunter both on and off the football field. He lives a lavish lifestyle and carries a black book thicker than the average dictionary. Correction: "black book" is so outdated. Let's just say his Facebook contacts could rival the Yellow Pages. He has the world at his fingertips and he has no thoughts of settling down. And why should he? With a seven-figure income, a dazzling smile, and a body resembling Michelangelo's David, he's every woman's fantasy. But Doctor Alexa Kennedy lives in the real world. She barely has time for her patients, and even less time for fantasies. At thirty-something, she's lonely, bored, and sex-starved. But when it comes to dealing with men, she's short on patience and long on disappointment. When one of the hospital's board members attends a charity benefit and ends up with the winning bid for a date with Tristan, Alexa is chosen to escort him. She could [care] less about watching some grown ass men run up and down the field smashing into each other. But the moment she meets Tristan, all that thinking flies out the window. Tristan is an erotic cocktail with a dash of sex appeal and a pinch of hedonism. Simply put, he's the sexiest man she has ever laid eyes on. They share a week of unbridled passion in Jamaica. Then Tristan retreats back into his glamorous world, leaving her aching for more. Alexa tells herself it was all in the name of charity. She's far too sensible to fall for someone like Tristan. Or is she?--Publisher description
