Beth Ann Williamson has held on for too long. She is now letting go -- of her cheating husband and of her meddling family -- to find her own happiness. As the owner of a salon in the small town of Bluebonnet, Texas, Beth Ann is slowly becoming her own person. However, that doesn't stop her family and her ex-husband from trying to control her life. When Lucy, Beth Ann's teenage sister seeks adventure at this absurd and outrageous outdoor event, Beth Ann is called in to retrieve her. There she encounters Mother Nature's wrath and a delicious hero and die-hard survivalist in Colt Waggoner.

Colt cannot deny his attraction to Beth Ann even though she is prickly to him. But soon Colt discovers that beneath that tough exterior lies a heart of gold. As he helps Beth Ann through the rough night outdoors, he also assists her in checking off items off her things-I-have-never-done list -- including a one-night stand. No matter how hard they try, neither can shake this newly discovered passion they have for one another. But will their passion be enough to withstand their family and friends?

THE CARE AND FEEDING OF AN ALPHA MALE is a deliciously hot read! Clare knows just how to build up the sexual tension and just when it hits its fevering point, she sets the pages blazing! The unique blend of sweet small-town romance and scorching hot sex scenes will have readers swarming to get their hands on this book.
