Sweet for a Seal Brian Rodgers

"My dating life has starred cupcake men - sweet but more icing than cake and nothing that could keep my mouth busy for a more than a few minutes. Finn Callahan? He's cake. A five-layer, lusciously frosted gateau." - Valentina Fuentes

I've never met a woman I couldn't love - for one night. I'm the bad boy, the player, the sexy heartbreaker you meet in a bar and take home. And after my last hellish tour of duty as a SEAL, sun, sand, and sex are my new mission in life. Happily ever after? Pass. I'll give you the best 12 hours of your life, and then I'm gone because why settle down when playing the field is so fun?

All that changes when I meet Valentina Fuentes. Actually, I rescue her from a ditch, which should score me major hero points. She's even willing to admit I'm hot - and she'll fool around with me. But convincing her that I'm anything but a sun-and-good-times boy toy? That's mission impossible. She argues I'm the loaner car girlfriends pass around...and, sure, she's willing to take me for a ride. A short ride. And for the first time in my life, I'd like more than a 12-hour relationship.

When did one woman make my smooth-talking bad boy self start dreaming of forever?
