If You Could Only Believe by M.E. Clayton

Michael Buchanan was a sweetheart; until he wasn’t. He spent his childhood being his father’s favorite punching bag, and as a result, Michael’s temper rivaled that of a psychopath’s. It wasn’t pretty. Michael spent most of his days avoiding intense emotions and situations, but as long as his family was happy, healthy, and safe, then Michael was too. He was also a virgin by choice. Michael wanted to make sure the women he loved would be strong enough to handled him, demons and all. When Sophia Martella tells him to turn around because she can’t think when he’s looking at her, he knows he’s found the one.

Sophia Martella was a chubby, plain, weirdo with a genius IQ and no friends. She was also a virgin. Not because she was saving herself for marriage, but because she’s spent her entire life being unnoticed by the world’s male population. And, most days, she didn’t mind. Sophia understood that not everyone could handle her unfiltered personality. But when Michael Buchanan forces her to attend a company party with him, it’s everything she can do not to have a heart attack right then and there. He’s Michael freaking’ Buchanan, for Pete’s sake!

What happens when Michael finally finds the woman of his dreams? Nothing anyone saw coming.
