  Never Say Love
  Bound by a vow with his friends, hotel tycoon Nathan Archer
  refuses to settle down and tie the knot. His only commitment is
  to bachelorhood. Granted, that contract was made when he was
  15 years old … and in a treehouse. Still, a promise is a
  promise. And Nate takes his promises seriously.
  But when cute little Eleanor Marshall walks back into his life,
  this blast from the past is no longer the timid little girl he used
  to know. When Ellie decides to soothe her bruised ego with
  one night of hot sex, Nate decides he’s the only man for the
  job. He’s wanted Ellie forever and it’s only one night.
  But Nate is never going to settle down.
  Never say never …
