She sighed with envy, then went down the back steps and roamed around the massive backyard, when she heard the buzzing of an engine in the distance. Raising a hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight, she saw a boat heading to shore.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Justin.
At the helm of a cruiser boat, wearing a blue flannel shirt unbuttoned with its tails flapping behind him, the sleeves rolled to his elbows, was the ruggedly handsome owner and CEO of It’s Handled.
Not only was he smart as a whip and insanely successful, he was also hotter than a ghost pepper, and probably just as dangerous to touch…and taste.
Dios mío. He’d grown a beard.
He didn’t appear to see her while he switched off the engine, jumped onto the dock, and pulled the boat over to secure it.
She swallowed, heart beginning to pound, neck heating up, breath shortening. Justin’s two-month absence somehow made her forget that being in his general vicinity evoked physical reactions she could never control.
What the hell was she going to say to him? Why was she there, exactly? Justin had a low tolerance for people who came to him unprepared, or for those who spoke impulsively. That wasn’t him. Every word out of his mouth seemed to come out as though he thought of them five minutes before you finished speaking.
He hopped down, swiped his hands on his cargo shorts, and headed in her direction with that notable swagger. Then he looked up, and halted.
Those soulful, hazel eyes locked with hers. There was no surprise. No shock.
She raked her gaze over him, raising a brow at his…casual appearance.
At the office, he never appeared unkempt. Every day he wore his signature vests, ties, and custom-made shirts. The poster child for the hipster entrepreneur. Yet, he was just as devastating in a flannel shirt and shorts that looked like they’d been plucked from a crate at a fisherman’s market.
The outfit made him look boyish, but his expression was hard as volcanic glass. “Antonia. How the hell did you find me?”

MARY’S 5 STAR REVIEW

This is a collection of short stories by some of our favorite Authors.  PLUS, how super is it that you can purchase a book full of hot, sexy bearded men and at the same time proceeds go to a worthwhile cause?    All the proceeds go to the Movember Foundation, which supports Prostate Cancer Research and Treatment.  A great way for all of us girls to show a little love.

SCRUFF YOU by Faith Andrews – This was a really sweet read.  Ezra is a good looking, bearded, barista who is bewitched by a frequent customer.  What makes this mystery lady even more interesting is her using names of Hollywood starlets.  But what happens when Ezra makes a move on this mystery lady?

Thou Shall Not Beard by Leslie McAdam – If you have read The Sun and the Moon you have already met Ryan and Amelia in that book.  If not, this can still be read as a free standing short story.  Ryan and Amelia’s wedding is fast approaching.  Amelia has just returned from a girl’s trip with her BFF to find that Ryan has grown a beard while she was away.  She’s not really sure that she likes it or not.  First a beard, then a delay in decorations for the wedding Amelia was beginning to let everything snowball.  Will Amelia anxiety derail this wedding?
