Jon Crawford has returned to Montana, determined to take over his father’s ranch and raise his daughter in Big Sky Country, leaving the big-city life behind once and for all. He doesn’t have time to fall in love, but he doesn’t count on stubborn but beautiful Trinity McGrath, who arouses his protective instincts even as she tries to push him away.
Life hasn’t always been easy for Trinity, but now she has everything she needs—her family, friends, and a safe and secure life. With a business to build, Trinity doesn’t have time for romance…until Jon comes barging into her life and all her intentions are turned upside down!
Still, an attraction like theirs is too powerful to deny, and sometimes true love comes along when you least expect it. But when someone from Jon's past comes back with a vengeance, Trinity and Jon will have to do everything they can to save themselves and their new love...
Excerpt “This was probably the best date I’ve ever had.”
She chuckled. “I’m sorry you’ve had so many bad dates then if a simple dinner tops your list.”
“It was the company that made my night.” With that, he slowly leaned down, giving her time to back out if she wanted to, though she seemed immobilized by his yearning gaze and her own anticipation. He finally kissed her softly. His warm lips remained over hers, tempting her into something deeper, but she liked the buzz of electricity and lingered in the moment.
Jon leaned back just an inch and stared into her eyes. “After getting burned by my ex, I feel like I should be a hell of a lot more cautious. But the truth is I’ve wanted to do that since the night at the hospital when I shouldn’t have been thinking about it at all. But I just couldn’t help myself.” His boldness matched her own when she’d invited him to stay for dinner.
So she went with it. “You should kiss me again.” She didn’t wait for him but met him in the middle and wrapped her arms around his neck. His tongue touched her lips and she opened to him. The slide of his tongue against hers, the very taste of him, sparked a flash of desperate need that had them locked together, bodies pressed tight to one another. She didn’t think she’d ever been kissed like this. Nothing had ever felt this right and tempting and sexy and all-encompassing at once.
“Daddy?” Emmy’s soft voice was the only thing that could tear them from each other.
Jon jolted back and stared into the back of the car. “Damn. That was totally worth the risk.” He cupped her face in one hand and brushed his thumb against her cheek. “I’m sorry. I have to go.” He rushed over to the driver’s door, opened it, and ducked his head inside. “I’m right here, sweetheart. Go back to sleep while I drive us home.”
He turned back to Trinity and took her in with one hot dip of his gaze down her body and back up to her face. “You look so good in that dress.” The look he gave her said he’d rather see her out of it.
She smiled because her heart felt lighter than it had in a long time because of his sweet words and that sexy as hell look he gave her that said so much about how much he wanted her. It felt so good to be wanted like that by him. “Monday. Breakfast.”
“Forever from now, but I can’t wait.”
