My hand freezes on my mug. I feel a tiny bit like a bad friend since I haven’t shared Prof.M. with them yet, but I’m just not ready. My body steadily warms as I think about the man who’s been making me laugh and smile lately, and I wonder what he’s like …
In bed.
Yes I know, I haven’t even met him. Haven’t looked into his eyes. Yet, somehow, I know that if it ever happens, it could be amazing. I pick my phone up off the table, desperately trying to avoid giving in and checking my messages.
I want to know if it’s him lighting up my phone, but I don’t dare look or everyone will want to know exactly who it is I’m chatting with. And they’ll know something is up because when I message him, I tend to grin like a lunatic. I can’t help myself.
With an exaggerated sigh, I steer us back to our conversation about the barre class and acquiesce. “Okay, I’ll go to that barre class. Who else is in?”
Quinn raises a hand. “I already said I’d do it. It’ll be fun.”
“Anyone else in?” Madison sits up, clapping her hands, excited to have us join her.
Sophia laughs. “Hard pass. I just don’t have time with wedding planning. You all have fun with it, though.”
“Zoey? Hadleigh?”
Zoey wrinkles her nose. “Ugh. you guys know me. I’m always at school until at least six. I don’t want to promise I’ll be there and then be a no-show.”
Hadleigh gives us her best yikes face. “You know, I wish I could, but time alone with Sawyer is kind of precious right now.”
Madison looks at me, then at Quinn. “Okay, then, ladies. I guess it’s the three of us. Be at the gym at four on Tuesday. We’ll see what it’s all about.”
I nod absentmindedly as I flip my phone over and glance down at Prof.M.’s latest message, already distracted. Again.

Dear Reader
Hadleigh is such a gem, isn’t she? And I absolutely love that Sawyer brings out a different side of her—someone no one sees but him. My other favorite thing about this book is how Sophia and Quinn took care of the Ed problem. Honestly, that asshole is lucky he got away with just a broken nose and the loss of his naughty photos.
I really hope you are ready for more fun from this crew, as Burn for You is shaping up nicely. Piper and Damon are bringing you one hell of a delicious slow burn. Prepare yourself. Grab a fan and some water to dump over your head.
If I haven’t said it often enough, I am so appreciative of those of you who are following me on this writing journey and loving my characters right along with me.
