Matt Coleman always figured at this point in his life, heβd be settled down with a family. Since his ex split for the big city, though, no way will he give anyone else the chance to drop-kick his heart. Physical pleasure? Hell, yeah, heβll takeβand giveβwith gusto, but nothing more.
Hope Meridan is working long hours to hold on to her new quilt shop, going it alone since her sister/business partner ran off. Sex? Right, like sheβs got the time. Not that she doesnβt have the occasional dirty fantasy about Matt. Fat chance heβd dream of knocking boots with herβthe younger sister of the woman who dumped him. Nope, sheβll just have to settle for the F-word.
Friends would be far easier if there wasnβt something combustible going on between them. And when casual interest starts to grow into something more, their tenuous bond strengthens in the heat of desire. But it may not survive the hurricane-force arrival of the last person either of them ever wanted to see againβ¦
Warning: Small-town rivals, men in pursuit and family meddlingβin good and bad ways. Look for a cowboy who knows how to rope, ride and rein in a hell of a lot more than eight seconds of sheer bliss.
