Dragonfly Creek

When a gorgeous city girl’s junkheap of a car breaks down near my family's ranch, I instantly want to protect her and her daughter. I want her trust. That’s hard for a woman on the run from a violent ex. Hope may look like she’s never worn cowboy boots in her life, but she quickly becomes indispensable both to my family, and to me. She still insists she's leaving as soon as her car is fixed. There's no way. Deep down, I have to admit I don’t just want to offer the beautiful single mother safe refuge. I also want her. Her body, her sweetness, her secrets. And that’s not on the table.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. Screwed up a career in the military, went to jail. Got some bad tattoos. But coming home to Dragonfly Creek and opening a garage wasn’t one of them, because now I get to watch Haven Bingham go to work at the library across the street every morning. And in the summer, she wears sundresses that would bring me to my knees if she gave me half a chance. Which she wouldn’t…Until she has to. Until she needs a fake boyfriend—or a bodyguard. Or both.
