Thanks for welcoming me to Wattpad! Hope you enjoy these first three chapters of GOTCHA!!! It's the first book in my "Tall, Hot & Texan" series. You can pick up the rest of GOTCHA, and the next book in the series, THE COP WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS, wherever ebooks are sold. You can find out more about it on my website! Hope to hear from you! -- Christie Craig "Funny, hot and suspenseful, Christie Craig's writing has it all!" -- Nina Bangs Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At twelve, her father left his family in the dust. At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable. That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on putting herself through law school -- which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man -- or his woman -- Macy knows it's for life.

If there is one thing tech genius Kenneth Jones knows, it's how to make a computer yield to his desires-from turning it on, to making the keyboard hum beneath his touch. But when it comes to women? He's going to need a savvy, sex advice coach to hack his love life. Accountant Reese Wallace can calculate a return on investment faster than brewing coffee, but that's just her day job. After hours, she moonlights as a relationship blogger, promoting love, sex and happiness. The moment geeky Kenneth strides into her life, she's dying to get her hands on him. Strictly as her client, of course. Brains might be sexy as hell, but Kenneth's pocket protector and corduroy pants must come off. Once they do, though, Reese is in trouble. She's about to discover that it's not the amount of experience in bed that counts, but the size of the...heart that goes with it.
