Maple Valley

"Wild as a storm. Strong as whiskey. He's everything I should resist—and the only thing I'll ever crave."

Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son. But fate has a cruel sense of humor.

Now I'm working in his brewery… and sleeping in the loft above his garage. He hasn't changed.

Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale.

And he still looks at me like I'm the wildflower that cut him all those years ago. We were enemies once. Now we're neighbors.

Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we'd never cross. Then he kisses me.

Hard. Hungry. Reckless.

The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more.

He vowed he'd never forgive me. I swore I'd never need him.

But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don't stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love.

And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming.

Because once Phoenix claims me… he'll fight like hell to keep me.

This is a full length novel with an HEA.
