Playing for Keeps

Antonia Fairchild, Toni to her friends, treasures her friendship with her bestie, Zachariah Young.  Zack had been her rock for the last five years and when her latest relationship fizzled and burned.  He invites her to historic Boston to nurse her wounds.  She jumped at the chance to get out of Dallas, even if it was just for a few days.

Once she arrives in Boston, she notices something very different about her friend of five years.  He’s far more attentive than before, which she didn’t mind. Although Toni welcomes the attention, she also knew the kind of woman Zack wants and it’s definitely not her.  Still there was something in his platonic kisses which drove her out of her mind and soon out of her clothes.

When Toni takes violently ill, it’s Zack to the rescue.  While he’s helping her recover, Toni realizes this is a new and different Zack.  Someone she could really get used to.

DEFINITELY HIS KIND OF WOMAN

Zack couldn’t put his finger on it, but something was different about his friend.  He was determined to find out.  When the opportunity arose, he invites Toni to Boston for a visit to get her mind off things.  True, it was a selfish move on his part, but it answered his question.  He had feelings for his best friend.  Now, what was he going to do about it?  He had five days alone with her.  Could he convince of his feelings in that short amount of time?  Was he really ready for that kind of commitment?

Zack waste no time putting his claim on Toni, and of course, she thinks he’s nuts.  Zack is not going to take no for answer.  He knew Toni deserved a quality man and he was just the man for the job.  This time he was playing for keeps.
