Everybody in Fallonβs Landing remembers Quaid OβFallon as the street-tough kid adopted by the tight-knit clan and made into one of their own. Quaidβs spent the last few years working in the Coast Guard Search and Rescue in Alaska, but heβs still got a hint of danger humming under the surfaceβand a heart fiercely loyal to the man who saved him, Rory OβFallon. Thatβs why he had to come back home. What he doesnβt expect is to run into the only person whoβs ever cracked his armor, Cynthia James. His attraction to the single mom has lasted years even though theyβre worlds apart. She loves New York; he loves the River. Sheβs Vogue; heβs Field & Stream. She designs beautiful clothes; his job is fishing people out of dangerous waters. He may be a rough-and-tumble river man, but heβs not about to let a second chance at his dream woman get awayβ¦
Cynthia came home to Fallonβs Landing in defeat after her smooth-talking husband ran her clothing business into the ground and left her with their son to raise. The last thing she needs is another man in her life, no matter how incredibly tempting he is. But Quaidβs always been a fascination to her. Sheβs wondered what those strong arms would feel like wrapped around her, or what ways a man that bold might have of pleasing a woman. Heβs all wrong for her, but once she shuts out the rest of the world and tastes Quaidβs hungry kisses, all she can think about is just how right he feelsβ¦
