Publisher Description
In the follow-up to Risking It All, hailed by Lauren Layne as “the perfect escapist read,” the heartthrobs of the Naked Men blog and podcast get a little too real about friendship, love, and sex. For one wealthy bachelor, the trouble starts when all three collide. . . .
After narrowly surviving a bus crash in high school with his best friends, science geek Knox Davis resolved to become so successful that he could have anything and everything he wants. Now he’s über-wealthy, a huge business success, and a notorious ladies’ man. Knox refuses to limit himself to one woman, but when his latest conquest—a blond beauty from the Alaskan bush—challenges his superficial ways, Knox begins to see the world through her eyes, and finds he likes what he sees.
A nurturer at heart, Madison Abbott wants to put down roots. She left Alaska to meet Mr. Right—and to track down Logan, the half-brother she’s never met. Instead, she finds Knox. Although the sexy-as-sin bachelor may not seem like marriage material, Madison’s starting to think that Knox is The One. But Knox refuses to settle down, especially once he learns that Madison is his best friend’s little sister. Now it’s up to her to convince Knox that she’s everything he really wants.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The second book in Barth's Naked Men contemporary romance series (after Risking it All) sparkles with friendships, a touch of humor, and a fresh, bright voice. Intelligent, ambitious, forthright Madison came from Alaska to Washington, D.C., for three things: her wonderful new job at the Library of Congress, a family, and the half-brother she never knew existed. Knox overcame a hardscrabble childhood and tragedy in his teen years, thanks to his brains and the loyalty of his best friends. The hard times taught him to take everything life has to offer and not miss a moment. When Madison nearly follows her selfie stick into rush-hour traffic, he seizes the moment by seizing the woman. They hit it off immediately, but she won't tolerate a womanizer. He has to find a way to overcome his infamous love of variety while remaining true to himself and the promises made in his youth. The usual pretense in relationships is stripped away faster than the protagonists' clothes, allowing friendship and passion to shine. The standard male/female dynamic is certainly at play, but the less traditional aspects of the story, including both characters' refreshing forthrightness and Knox's purely delightful group of buddies, create multi-layered richness that readers will savor.
