A Halo Like a Frisbee by Mel Dau

Blake Maria Collins has spent years being everybody’s idea of a good woman who is responsible, dependable, and loyal. Because of her baby curation profession, most people assume she wears a halo over her head, but what they don’t realize is that halo has been taken off and tucked away more times than anyone can imagine. Beneath her polished exterior to the outside world and her ruthless one to the underworld, is a woman who’s tired of carrying the weight of her own expectations and loss.

Then there’s Scott “Scotty” Chad McLeod. An assertive, take-no-prisoners kind of man with enough charm to start trouble and enough Big D energy to enjoy every second of it. Scotty isn’t looking for love, and Blake definitely isn’t looking for a man determined to test her patience at every turn with a sexy smile. What starts as constant friction quickly ignites into an attraction neither of them can deny.

As secrets, old wounds, and outside drama threaten their peace, Blake learns that sometimes a woman has to stop worrying about the appearance of a perfectly polished halo. Sometimes she has to throw it like a frisbee and let it land wherever it may. In a world where loyalty is rare, love is complicated, and everyone has an opinion, Scotty and Blake discover that the strongest love stories aren’t about perfect people. They’re about flawed people choosing each other anyway.
