Title: Paper Fools
Author: Staci Hart
Cover Designer: Quirkybird Designs

Aphrodite knows love — just don’t ask her to figure out her
own mess.
Rather than deal with her sticky love life, she toys with the
hearts of unwitting humans. It’s a little game she plays, and the stakes are
high. Lucky for her, she’s just found the perfect match.
Lex is everything Dean needs, but he can’t have her.
It doesn’t matter that her eyes speak to a long forgotten part
of him, or that her art and poetry touch his shredded heart. She’s off limits —
crossing that line would implode his band and everything he’s ever cared about.
There’s only one option: stay away from her, no matter the cost. Even if the
price is his heart.
Dean is everything Lex wants, but she can’t take the
risk.
The second she meets him, she knows her heart is in danger.
She’s convinced it’s only attraction that has her hung up on the dark, quiet
lead singer, but with every day that passes, she knows it’s more. It’s just
that she can’t put her heart on the line. She won’t — love has never been worth
the sacrifice.
If
only they knew they were just pawns in a much bigger game. And in the game of
love, Aphrodite never loses.

Excerpt:
She reached into her bag, digging around in
the black hole for her book, but looked up, sensing someone in front of her.
When her eyes locked on his, she froze.
They were the greenest eyes she’d ever
seen, shocking and bright, rimmed by thick, dark lashes. His long face was
graced with an elegant nose and wide lips bent in a crooked smile. And he was
tall, really tall, with ebony hair that fell forward as he looked down at her.
He pushed it back without seeming to think about it, but it still looked
perfectly tossed, like he’d just rolled out of bed.
She realized she still hadn’t taken a
breath and flushed as she fumbled and almost dropped her book.
“Uh, hi. I’m Lex.” She tossed her hand in a
wave, hoping she looked casual.
He paused for a second, watching her with
an expression she couldn’t quite place. The moment seemed to stretch on
forever, and as she studied him, it dawned on her that he was amused. This
unnerved her, even more so when it dawned upon her that it was exactly what he
wanted.
“Hey,” he said, the timbre of his voice
deep and full. “I’m Dean.”
Lex realized her mouth was open. And that
he was smirking. And that he was dead sexy while he was doing it.
She closed her mouth and cocked an eyebrow,
putting on her snark to hide the fact that he’d gotten to her.
“Dean, huh? I heard they call you Professor
Panty Dropper.”
His smile stretched wider. “Oh, is that
what they say?”
“They do.”
A tall blond, who she guessed was Roe, stood
at the microphone, glaring at them. “Mic check, Dean.”
They stared at each other like idiots for a
split second longer before Dean turned to pick up his guitar, and he took his
place with the rest of the band. She watched him walk away and blinked a few
times before turning to her bag again, not looking for anything in particular —
she only wanted to keep her hands busy and her eyes off of Dean while she
scraped her dignity off the floor.

About the Author
Staci has been a lot of things up to this
point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a
clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a
mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of
hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best
cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking
whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint
in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in
between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still
magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing
graphics.
