Max: Chase Corrigan is the competition and the reason I can't sleep at night. How does he beat my customer service numbers-and get the bonus-every month? We're complete opposites. I'm a people person, and he avoids everyone. Sure, he's gorgeous with long blond hair and icicle-blue eyes, but I like my guys a little more thawed out. I'm determined to take him down. All that changes when my plan backfires. I get to know the real Chase and realize why he's so private. I can't stop thinking about him. The problem? I'm a casual-type of guy. And Chase Corrigan has serious written all over him. Chase: Maxwell Sloan is everything I detest in a man. He's loud, obnoxious, and way too full of himself. He loves being the center of attention, while I just want to be left alone. I'm not competitive, but I enjoy beating Max out of the top spot each month. It also makes me his favorite target. When Max and I are thrown together on a work project, I want to throttle him. He makes me so angry-and more alive than I've felt in a long time. But I've been with men like Max before, and I'll never put myself in that position again. If only my heart would listen. Talk to Me is a 50.000-word m/m romance with a HEA. It's the first book in the Sloan Brothers series but can be read as a stand-alone. The book includes a steamy office romance, scheming gamers, and an adorably high-maintenance terrier.
