Braless in the Buick By Jenna Leigh
Blurb: When a single mom tries to make it on her own, Murphy's Law is always in effect. But, wow, the scenery is sure nice.
**Moms Gone Wild: The Early Morning Edition?**
Allie was sure she was three different women. There was Public Allie and then there was Worry Wart, the phobia queen, each day she got a little louder. But there was also Inner Slut. She'd been asleep since college, but this guy woke her up with a vengeance.
Worry Wart squealed for her to run, run from the potential serial killer. Then Inner Slut suggested a few things she could do to make him holler instead. They involved chocolate syrup, whipped cream and if she wasn't mistaken, a feather duster.
Inner Slut almost won the battle with the last little volley. It was a close thing for a minute there, but Worry Wart was a dirty fighter, plus she had Mrs. Lisbon on her side.
"Get in the car, M.J. I'll handle Mr. Donally." She intended to drive off before Mr. Donally reached them. She would bring him some money later, when she was properly dressed. But when she pulled her own door open all the papers fell onto the ground. "Well, shit!" She scrambled to pick them up.
"You broke my Bonsai." He stood over her, looming like a vulture. Guilt swamped her at his hurt tone.
She started to stand, only to have his hand on her lower back stop her. "How dare you?"
"No, wait. You?." He began but she didn't listen, just pushed his hand away and reared up intending to give him a piece of her mind.
Unfortunately, she slammed her head on the edge of the door and lost what little mind she had left after this morning's debacle.
Allie hit the pavement and waited for the stars swirling overhead to subside from her vision. A pair of strong hands picked her up and
turned her over.
Mr. Donally lifted her as if she weighed nothing at all and part of her sighed over that. But then she remembered how stupid she'd looked and decided it was a fruitless fantasy, despite Inner Slut's suggestions to the contrary.
