Not Betting on Forever - Natasha Moore - Bog

What's the fun when you don't bet to win? Single mom Melanie Hayes should absolutely, completely, and totally not be attracted to her next door neighbor. Nick Campagna can be her friend, her secret crush, or just the arrogant -and unavoidably handsome-jerk next door, but nothing more. Because, even though it was a million years ago, he's also her sister's ex. And now, with Lakeside's Battle of the Businesses in full swing, Nick's also Melanie's competition. Their families have always been competitive, so it's no surprise to anyone that they're playing for more than just bragging rights. With a coveted piece of land on the line, Nick isn't backing down. Maybe he can't help noticing that the tomboy he knew as a kid has turned into a stunning redhead. Maybe he is attracted to Melanie. Ridiculously so. But as real as this feels, Nick knows this is one game he definitely can't win. They've known each other long enough that it's definitely not love at first sight. But attraction can happen in an instant. And this is one wager where winning is nowhere near as fun as playing the game...
