Can’t Buy His Love

About this ebook
Wheeler Ridley is used to having men fall into his lap at a snap of his fingers. He's gorgeous, well-to-do, and absolutely clueless about commitment and what it takes to have a serious relationship. Which makes the fact that he wants such a thing with his relationship-phobic crush, Gregory Wang almost unheard of. And yet.
Gregory runs the daycare center across the street from the gym owned by Wheeler, and he has a reputation in the tiny beach town for being the "ice queen." Although he's interested in Wheeler, Gregory refuses any overtures and leaves frustration in his wake.
When Wheeler saves the life of one of Gregory’s daycare kids, Gregory sees him in a new light. Together, they work to forge a new beginning: one man learning how to think with his heart; the other figuring out how to let the past go and let ... love.

Can’t Buy His Love
By J.D. Walker
Mrs. Ragsdale was seventy years old and still very agile. She came to the gym like clockwork every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to use light weights and walk on the treadmill or use the exercise bike. She was my inspiration, especially on days when I despaired of getting anywhere with my worst crush ever, Gregory Wang.
The owner of the daycare center across the street from my gym was a few years younger than me, and absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful brown eyes, perfect cheekbones, hot body, waves of raven-colored hair…my dreams every night featured him in every position imaginable. And I had yet to get much further than halfway to first base with him. Still. After almost a year of living in this sleepy beach town.
I would be the last to admit failure in getting the man I wanted, but I was fast giving up hope. Usually having money or good looks and charm helped smooth my way into someone’s bed, whether or not that was a good thing. In this instance, it hadn’t done me any favors. Although, even if I were flat broke or homeless, I thought that Gregory would still avoid me like the plague.
Something about me made him clam up from the first time we met, though I could tell he was into me. The eyes never lie, and his were telling all kinds of truths he wanted to explore. But that was it. And each time I’d tried ever since, that mile-thick concrete barrier around his heart got harder and harder to penetrate.
Tory Cuthbert—owner of the Misty View Motel on the beach and a childhood friend with whom I’d become reacquainted when I showed up here last year—told me I might have to prove myself. He said it could take time, that I’d have to wait. All the things I’ve never had to do before. It was driving me nuts.
Perhaps I could be called arrogant and self-involved, but that was nothing new. This time around, however, it was a problem. And I admitted to being clueless when it came to serious relationships, most of the time. Tory pointed that out to me often enough.
I liked it here, though. My brand new house was about a
