Rachel Gibson, New York Times bestselling author of Rescue
Me, returns to Texas with a tale of what happens when a
tough guy meets his match—and falls harder than a ton of
red-hot bricks . . .
There's nothing like fleeing Miami to ruin a girl's day.
Stella Leon's bartending gig was going fine until gorgeous
ex-Marine Beau Junger decked her mob-connected boss,
spirited her out of the city, and claimed that Stella's
half-sister—the one with the perfect life—sent him. Now
Stella has no choice but to go along for the ride . . . and
seduce
Beau's military-issue socks off . . .
The Marine Corps was Beau's escape from his old man's legacy
of naval heroism and serial philandering, but no amount of
training could prepare him for the day he looked in the
mirror and saw his father staring back. The answer: swear
off meaningless sex. Oh, and find a way to make Stella Leon
quit being so damn hot . . .
