[Say You Will 01] • Twelve Nights of Scandal

A broken engagement.

Alyssa Carlisle arrives at her parent's house in Florida nursing an unexpected heartbreak. She jumps at the chance for a no-strings-attached fling with the neighbors' ridiculously sexy college-dropout-turned-real-estate-investor son. Marc's hot--and every woman in Florida knows it. Half of them firsthand. Alyssa's not immune; she just knows better than to expect anything beyond a hook-up. Once she set her sights on New York, she never looked back. Maybe once or twice, just to get a better glimpse of Marc's butt. No harm in looking...

An ill-advised fling.

Marc's wanted his aloof, ambitious neighbor for years, but she's been thousands of miles away chasing her dream. He almost gave up the fantasy when she brought home a rich fianc�. Now their engagement's off, and Marc's not about to pass up his chance. But how can he convince her to take him seriously--when Alyssa's on the rebound and leaving in a week?

A reality-TV-inspired dating contest.

An unexpected visit from Alyssa's ex gives Marc the opportunity he needs--if he doesn't mess it up. But Marc has a dream, too, one he's worked toward for years. One of them will have to give. Blindsided by unexpected feelings, Marc and Alyssa fight for a future neither could have imagined.
