Suppose the solution to all your problems is the one thing you never wantedβ¦
It figures the one time Sabrina Cassidy is determined to do the responsible thing, karma kicks in. After four years on the road chasing her musical dream, sheβs stranded six hours from home with no money, a ruined credit historyβand morning sickness.
Out of options, she swallows her legendary independent streak and calls the only person who wonβt hang up on her. Luke, the man she left behind.
Marc Sterlingβs first instinct is to protect his business partner and best friend from another broken heart. That means letting her think sheβs talking to Luke, then finding a way to send her in the opposite direction.
When he shows up at her hotel room, thereβs something in the air beside their customary insults. Sure, her rebellious attitude, smart mouthβand purple pantiesβstill drive him crazy, but now itβs a different kind of crazy. The kind that has him driving her home instead of to the nearest airport.
And when Luke offers to solve all her problems if sheβll only say βI doβ, Marc realizes heβs just crazy enoughβabout herβto forget whose heart he wanted to protect.
Warning: Contains two people who donβt like each other very much, a Toyota that canβt quite handle the road trip home, and a spontaneous proposal. Or two. Or three. And foreplay withβwhat elseβpie filling.
