For single mom Bobbie Jo Weston, finding a husband is not on her to-do list. She's focused on turning a run-down chicken farm into a Bed & Breakfast. She agrees to let a friend’s nephew stay with her in exchange for his handyman skills, but she wasn’t counting on the super sexy Seth Landry being that guy.
Seth has a special skill-set, all right, but it has nothing to do with hammering nails. As a retired member of The Resistance—an elite group of ex-military soldiers—his dark, unsettling past haunts him. He needs a place to lay low, and an out-of-the-way B&B is nothing short of perfect. The blonde beauty doesn’t trust men, and he doesn't plan on sticking around long enough to change her mind.
The closer they get, the more they can't seem to keep their hands off each other. And while Bobbie holds on to her fear of watching another man walk out of their lives, Seth's mere presence has put them all in jeopardy. The only way to ever be free of his dangerous past is for him to accept one last mission...

His
piercing, impolite eyes flickered over my body before rising to meet my gaze
head on. Wordlessly, he grinned again.
My face
flushed and my inner muscles contracted at the highly erotic overtones his
smile implied. My God, this guy is like a
walking vibrator. Only better. He doesn’t require batteries to operate.
But after
my unfortunate run-in with Jeremy, I wasn’t feeling particularly interested in
doing anything too crazy—and probably
totally hot—that I might later come to regret. God, why not? Tamping down my inner resistance, I strengthened my
resolve by forcing the firm, unmistakable words out of my mouth. “I’m not going
to sleep with you.” Damn. I could almost feel my vagina pouting.
Amusement
lit his face. “I don’t recall asking you to.”
Oh. All right. “Sorry. I
guess I just thought—”
“Don’t get
me wrong. Say the words and I’ll have your panties around your ankles and my
dick buried in you so fast, you won’t know if you’re coming or…” His golden
eyes glinted, heat smoldering just below the surface. “No, never mind. You’d
definitely be coming.”
Holy shit! I think I just did.
His
sexually charged words effectively disarmed me, inflaming parts of my body that
hadn’t been intimately touched by a man in five long, celibate years. I
clenched my thighs together to ease the no longer familiar ache building
between them and mentally whimpered. Hot and bothered didn’t even begin to
describe it.
He slid my
long blond hair gently off my right shoulder and allowed his fingertips to
trace lightly across my collarbone before coming to rest on my neck. With the
way his eyes darkened with intensity, I had no doubt he detected my erratic
pulse pounding beneath my skin. His eyes probed mine thoroughly, as if he were
waiting for an invitation to take things one step further. “Struggling a bit
with your decision? Why don’t I make it a little easier for you?”
“Easier?” I
repeated.
“Just one
kiss. What do you say?”
“One kiss?”
I muttered, parroting him once again.
The amused
expression he wore had me questioning his sanity. How the hell did his offer
change from screwing me senseless to one simple kiss in the matter of a
heartbeat? Not that I planned to accept his first official offer, but a girl
does like to keep her options open.
Gentle
hands cinched my waist, catching me off guard and causing me to stiffen. “Do
you need a second to recap…or is it okay for me to kiss you now?"
