title: Her Playboy Crush
author: Marsh, Nicola
description: They’re opposites in every way. It can’t become serious. Her brother would kill them both… Let the sexy games begin in this irresistible romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Nicola Marsh.
  Ryder’s back in town. The four words that make adorably nerdy statistician Polly Scanlon’s heart leap. Ryder Beale—celebrity, motivational guru extraordinaire, six-plus feet of delectable, hard-bodied sexiness, playboy player…and her brother’s best friend. Between that and the models he dates, Polly doesn’t stand a chance.
  Until now.
  Something’s changed. The air between them is charged with electricity that zips along Polly’s skin, making everything tingle. Naughty bits included. But Ryder has a business arrangement in mind. After all, they can help each other out…and then get unbelievably wicked together between the sheets.
  Every statistician knows the odds, and Polly’s no exception. Ryder’s never been the guy to “date” or settle down. Ever. He’s always looking for his next challenge and that’s always been who he is. Polly went into this eyes wide open. But keeping her heart closed is a completely different equation…
