Take Your Time by Allie Kay

After too many drinks at a costume party, Zane Richmond winds up in bed with Claire Ballard. Zane has been in love with his sister’s best friend for years now. So why does waking up next to her wearing only a Zorro mask nearly break his heart? Oh, just the slight matter of Claire hating his guts…
Claire doesn’t believe in romance. She’s watched her mom go from man to man as the romance fizzled. She’d rather just be alone. After a one-night stand ends with a letter, she finds herself corresponding with the man who identifies himself only as ‘Z’. Her memory of their one night together is sketchy, but his sweet notes and thoughtful conversations spark something in the depths of her soul she’d thought untouchable.
When Claire finds herself in real-life danger, Zane takes charge. Claire sees a side of him that she really likes, but she can’t fall for Zane when she also has feelings for the mysterious Z. But when the secret surrounding Z’s identity come out, can Claire handle the truth?
