<\/p>\n
Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.<\/p>\n
You see, I\u2019d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I\u2019d grabbed the wrong suitcase.<\/p>\n
After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.<\/p>\n
A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.<\/p>\n
Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.<\/p>\n
Turned out, it wasn\u2019t just his voice that was sexy.\u00a0 The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.<\/p>\n
He got me to admit that I\u2019d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.<\/p>\n
Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn\u2019t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice.\u00a0 He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.<\/p>\n
Did I mention he also\u00a0did my laundry while I slept<\/em>?<\/p>\n Definitely\u00a0<\/em>too good to be true.<\/p>\n So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?<\/p>\n I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.<\/p>\n My life was too complicated for such a great guy.<\/p>\n In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often. But New York City had eight-million people, so what were the chances I\u2019d run into him?<\/p>\n Then again, what were the chances I\u2019d run into him a year later\u2026when I\u2019d just started dating\u00a0his boss<\/em>?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vi Keeland is a #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling author.
