*~*Love Notes: Luca to Lauren – Engaged to the EMT by Piper Rayne*~*
Luca Bianco is a jerk. There I said it.
He thinks he’s so suave and sexy, walking around in his paramedic uniform stretched out by all his hard muscles and saving lives every day. I swear he thinks every woman in the world would kill for a chance to be with him.
Men like Luca are good for one thing only — a one-night stand — not commitment. I don’t care if my friend did pay good money at a charity bachelor auction for me to go on a date with him, I refuse to do it.
That is until Luca offers me a deal I can’t refuse, and I agree to be his pretend fiancé.
The heat that’s simmered between us for a decade ignites and I’m not sure even Luca will be able to kickstart my heart after I call code blue.
What’s that saying? Love is blind?
Not true. I can see this head-on collision coming a mile away.
Check out the other books in the Blue Collar Brothers Series…
Everyone knows that if you play with fire you’ll end up getting burned…
What happens when you attend a first responder’s bachelor auction with your best friends? Well, if your name is Madison Kelly like me, your friends end up bidding on a date for you with your high school crush.
That’s right. Even back when I was ‘Fatty Maddie’ to all my classmates, I had eyes for the quarterback of our football team. Not like I was the only one.
Mauro Bianco may fight fires for a living, but he still sets my heart ablaze. One look at the rugged, muscular man he’s turned into and I want to slide down his pole.
One date. That’s all I’m committed to. A few hours and I can tuck him back into that tattered old shoebox in my closet.
As always, the universe has other plans. I never would’ve predicted that in a matter of days he’d turn from my dream guy into my business partner — and that’s when things got interesting.
Cristian Bianco has two things against him — he’s a police officer and he’s a police officer in the 18th District… meaning my dad is his boss.
Growing up as the Commander’s daughter and having his magnifying glass focused on everything I did was more than I could handle.
Now, I’m out on my own, living by my own rules. Well, mostly. The ‘job’ I created for myself has me in some hot water and my exit strategy isn’t exactly working out how I’d hoped.
Which is why when my best friend bids on Cristian for me at a charity bachelor auction, I’m not having it. A man in blue is only going to be one thing for me — a problem.
Except after his brother starts dating my best friend he becomes harder to ignore. The eight-pack abs. The sense of style only a girl like me can appreciate. The way he puts his family first. It all adds up to make him one irresistible prospect and has me wondering if he knows how to use those handcuffs the right way — by locking my wrists to his headboard.
Luca’s note for Lauren is super cute!

Lauren,
My love for you is as deep as an ocean.
My love for you is as strong as a rock.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… stop copying other people’s words and think of your own crap. But the pressure is strong since you made our first Valentine’s to each other a mini competition because you know it’s a sure win—for you.
I told you when I proposed I’m no poet or songwriter. My ability to rhyme ends with love and dove.
Even with all of my inadequacies when it comes to mushy touchy feelings, the words are all true. As I searched for lines to make you woo, each one spoke to how I feel for you. To think I wasted all that time, all those years when the perfect person who brought out all my excellent qualities was right there. You didn’t think I’d waste an opportunity to boast about myself, did you? Yeah, sometimes you were dating my best friend, other times we were both single and I should’ve taken a shot.
If I was an arrogant man, I’d tell you how you have me to thank for us finding one another. But, well… I am arrogant so, just remember I’m your Valentine this year because I’m the one who offered you a deal you couldn’t refuse. But I also hope it’s because you love me and your life would be just as empty as mine would be without you.
Anyway, I’m man enough to accept defeat before the verdict is called so, come on down to the family room. Our first official Valentine’s Day will be celebrated just as you wished. Junk food, Hallmark Valentine’s Day movies and my open arms waiting for you.
Love you,
Luca
P.S. I gave myself a little gift too—open the box. 😉
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have “Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle” (okay…you caught us, that’s our tagline).
A little about us… We both have Kindles full of one-clickable books. We’re both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We’re both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
