Man who uses his mind instead of his hands - someone who can "wow" me and hold a decent conversation. Someone who knows that a dinner date consists of more than a six-pack and a bag of chips. Beer-guzzling, power-tool using jerks need not apply...Pepper Bartlett has always been a woman who knows exactly what she wants - except when it comes to men. With a body to die for and classic girl-next-door good looks, she's never had any trouble finding a man, but finding one who doesn't cheat, lie, or run in the other direction at the thought of commitment is another story. Determined to swear off hot, sweaty, sexy men with blue collars and blue jeans, Pepper places a personal ad with just one requirement - No Blue Collar Guys need apply. What she wants is a man to turn her inside out and make her crazy with desire - but not drive her crazy. What she finds is the answer to her dreams. Jake Hunter is smart, sensitive, hotter than hell, and an architect. With jet black hair and a beautiful body she'd like to get to know a whole lot better, Jake is the one man who wants to wait. Just what is he hiding? And when Pepper finds out what it is, will she swear off all men forever?
