A Model Hero
(Calendar Men) by Sara Daniel
Gretchen Meyers is
a full-figured woman living in a model thin world. Desperate to end her
mother's constant, nagging stream of dieting and fashion “advice,” Gretchen
tackles the challenge of reviving her mother’s faltering modeling agency. All
she needs is to woo back Kyle Ramsey, once the hottest model in the country.
Making the preemptive choice to turn his back on his career seemed Kyle’s only option until Gretchen comes calling. He doesn’t care what she wants to offer him, the answer is no. Still, he’s intrigued by her refreshing personality and all her lovely, lush curves.
When tragedy strikes, Kyle finds comfort and healing in Gretchen’s arms. But he can’t trust her with his career-ending secret and she doesn’t believe their relationship will survive the long term. He’s perfect and she’s not even close. Can the fragile ties holding them together survive Kyle’s opportunity to become a true model hero?

Excerpt:
The restaurant
scene, then, had done its job. She’d have to send Jamie flowers. No, she’d send
a box of fattening chocolates instead. “Did you enjoy your evening after I
left?”
His gaze narrowed,
he pushed himself out of the chair. “Did you arrange with Jamie to drop by our
table?”
“How could I, when
I had no idea where we were going for dinner until we were there?” Not to
mention, she’d have preferred to sever essential body parts than ask Jamie
Feldman for anything. But her irrational possessiveness was her own problem.
“The important thing is you had a good time, and you’re ready to make up for
everything you’ve been missing over the past year.”
“Those things
aren’t important at all.” He advanced on her slowly.
She took a step
back and came up against the door she’d closed a moment before.
Kyle flashed a
predatory smile. He took her purse and briefcase from her shoulder, setting
them aside. Then he rested his forearms on either side of her head and stared
into her eyes, his lips a scant inch from hers as he spoke. “I’m here for you. Our
date deserves another shot.”
Her heart
thundered. The thick eyelashes framing his gray-green eyes mesmerized her. He
stood too near for her to formulate a coherent response. This much physical
perfection and sex appeal should be outlawed. Her mind was not equipped to
handle it.
“What do you say?”
he asked.
Yes, take me. “I say, why me?” Her voice rose with an
embarrassing squeak as she struggled to compose a rational argument and remind
herself she was in her office, just feet away from her employees who’d never
seen her anything less than one hundred percent professional. “I get why you
went out with me on Saturday. You’d shut yourself away from the world, and I
was the first woman to find you. But you’ve been reminded you can have Jamie or
anyone else you crook your finger for. Why do you still want me?”
His gaze softened
with a tenderness that pierced her heart. He brushed his thumb along her cheek.
“How could I not want you? You’re smart and funny and beautiful and not afraid
to let a guy who has no idea what you like order for you on a first date.”
