IOU by Kristy Marie

WANTED: One favor from the most ruthless man in town. Must not mind dealing with:

Notorious bad boy with a deck of IOU cards
Questionable life choices (mine)
Inconvenient attraction (also mine)
Butterflies that clearly didn’t get the “he’s dangerous” memo
I, Ainsley James, have officially lost it. I’m standing outside Maverick Lexington’s door, about to ask the human equivalent of a frost giant for a favor. Yes, THAT Maverick Lexington – the one who collects debts like some people collect social media followers.

The Plan:

Get one of his infamous IOU cards
Successfully negotiate with Havemeyer’s coldest bachelor
DON’T notice how his scowl is actually kind of hot
Don’t develop feelings
Definitely don’t develop feelings
Someone should have warned me that owing Maverick Lexington a favor would cost me my heart.

IOU is a standalone romantic comedy with forced proximity (roommates), a bad boy hero, and a deal with the devil (but in a cute way.) Reading this book comes with the side effects of spontaneous giggling, excessive swooning, and the sudden urge to make questionable deals with attractive strangers. Reader discretion is advised.
