Trading Card: Max Dorset
Occupation: Lawyer…professional shark
Secret Passion: Good girls with a naughty side!
It’s archivist/movie-buff Natalie Gellar’s very first Hot Guys Trading Card event. And boy, did she luck out. She found a quiet—and smokin’ hot!—librarian looking for marriage. Unfortunately, there was a tiny mix-up at the printer…and aside from the sexy pic, Natalie’s perfect man is everything she doesn’t want!
Max Dorset is a damn good lawyer who has no time for anything that isn’t work. Marriage and relationships? No, thanks. But he offers Natalie a tantalizing temptation. Because even if he isn’t her Mr. Right…he might just be her perfect Mr. Tonight!
“I want to see you… All of you.”
Natalie closed her eyes as her dress fell to the floor with a soft whoosh of fabric.
“Oh, God. Look at you. I never expected—”
She opened her mouth to find Max staring, his lips parted in a very flattering way.
She moved one foot back to take off her heels.
“No, wait. Please. Leave those on.”
She’d wanted new experiences. This definitely met the criteria.
“I know where I’ve seen you before,” he said, his voice very low and rough. “On those pinup posters, with your ruby lips and your luscious curves.”
She froze right there. Just stopped. Her? A pinup? With her plain white bra and panties?
He was the wrong Max, and yet…
There was no longer any need to pretend to feel sexy. Because she was truly feeling sexy. It was intoxicating. Freeing.
No one had ever looked at her that way, with his three undone buttons and his desire-darkened eyes, and she was going to revel in it.
He wanted a show.
So she would give him one….
Dear Reader,
It was so much fun writing Choose Me, Have Me and Want Me, the first three books in the It’s Trading Men! miniseries. I got so many lovely letters and emails about the Hot Guys Trading Cards I had to write more!
In Seduce Me, Natalie Gellar, a film archivist in the East Village of New York, is looking for the right man. She wants to settle down, start a family. She’s got her heart set on a librarian-friendly guy, someone who shares her values and her love of home. She can’t believe her luck when she finds Max Zimm’s Trading Card. He’s not only a librarian, but he loves to cook and his passion is online gaming!
When Natalie finally sees Max’s picture, she nearly passes out. Her nerdy, marriage-minded pick is literally a Hot Guy! He’s tall, has gorgeous eyes and his smile could stop traffic. In person, he’s even hotter.
Too bad the guy on the Trading Card is actually Max Dorset. Attorney. Playboy. One Night Stand.

“OKAY, LADIES.” Shannon Fitzgerald, the founder of the newest dating trend in Manhattan, had her arms up high, holding an open box. “Are you ready?”
No one answered. In fact, Natalie Gellar was pretty sure no one was even breathing. All twenty-four women in the room were leaning forward, though. Fingers at the ready, hope and anticipation doubling heart rates.
“On your mark...”
Five long utility tables had been pushed together into a rectangle on what was anything but a normal Wednesday evening in the St. Marks Church community room.
“Get set...”
Natalie stood her ground, shoulder to shoulder with the women around her, determined to do whatever was necessary to get the right card, the perfect card. The Hot Guys Trading Card that would change her life.
“Go!”
Shannon tossed the latest batch of cards into the center of the tables and sprinted out of the way.
As if they were attacking the first Black Friday sale table at Barney’s, everyone went nuts.
