Who says he has to be Mr. Right? What’s wrong with Mr. Right Now?

      The world had narrowed to three things: Jace’s mouth, Noelle’s fingers and the half a cookie clutched between them.

      His breath mingled with hers. “Are you ready?”

      In a heartbeat, the cookie vanished from her hand and her index finger was drawn into the warm, wet vortex of his mouth. He worked his way down to her pinkie, tormenting each finger in turn with his lips, teeth and tongue until they were sucked clean.

      Oh. My. God.

      “I’m still hungry.”

      She glanced at the tin in her lap. “There’re more cookies.”

      “That’s not what I’m hungry for.”

      Jace plucked the tin of cookies off her lap and set it down on the bench behind him.

      “I think you know what I want...”

      Dear Reader,

      Finally! You met the baby of the Nelson family, ballerina Noelle, in Triple Threat. Now, three books later, she gets her own story in Triple Score.

      Things aren’t all rosy for poor Noelle. She’s torn her ACL, a possible career-ending injury for a ballet dancer. So she’s holed up at an exclusive rehab center focused on one thing and one thing only—following her treatment plan and getting back onstage ASAP.

      Enter bad-boy baseball player Jace Monroe. He’s ruptured the ligament in his elbow—again—and he needs to get better fast so he can rejoin his team, the Sacramento Storm, as shortstop. But unlike Noelle, Jace isn’t a by-the-books kind of guy. He’s willing to break the rules of rehab to get what he wants. And what he wants is to play baseball—and tear down the walls the elusive, alluring ballerina keeps putting up between them.

      I’ve loved my time with the Nelson family, and I hope you have, too. Sadly, Triple Score is the last in The Art of Seduction series. But you’ll get the chance to catch up with all of the Nelson siblings in the epilogue. And you might get to see at least one Nelson pairing in one of my upcoming books for Harlequin Blaze. Remember Malcolm and Marisa from Triple Threat? Well, it looks as if they’ll be getting their own story, a Christmas book tentatively titled Six Pack Santa.

      But first you’ll get to see more of Jace’s pals Cooper and Reid. So play ball!

      Until next time,

      Regina
