Synopsis:
Enemies make the best partners…
As a
photographer in NYC, Grace Harper is a pro at handling the unexpected--which
comes in handy when she inherits the ranch home she ran away from seven years
ago…along with a young, autistic stepbrother she’s never met. And because
nothing ever goes easy for her, Grace finds her frustrating, sexy ex-flame,
Noah, taking care of JJ. But she’s getting out of this nowhere town fast, so
she’ll have to find a way to keep from throttling Noah—without kissing him
first.
Noah
Taylor may be enemy number one to Grace, but she needs his help. He knows the
girl he used to love is still there, beneath the heels and fancy clothes, so
he’ll help her—and keep his distance like she says she wants. Only the more
time they spend together, the closer he wants to get. Grace has no intention of
staying, but she belongs in his arms—he just has to prove it to her.

She stiffened. She
was the New Yorker, used to being direct and dealing with people who got in her
face. Yet when Noah did it, it unnerved her. “I’m not avoiding you.” Her pitch
was a half-step high, the trait of a liar.
“We’ve got to talk
about last night.”
She smacked her
bread together and turned to face him, using her sandwich as a shield. She
straightened her pose, planted her feet apart, and hoped the Wonder Woman
stance would give her Amazonian strength. “Last night was a
mistake.”
His dark-blue eyes
flashed with a determination that told her he disagreed. Her stomach clenched,
and the strength she sought eluded her. Instead she stood there, too frightened
to move and too weak to stop where they were going.
He came up on her
slowly, as if he knew she’d spook and scatter at any sudden movement. He
reached out and tucked one blond curl behind her ear. His fingers skimmed her
skin. Goose bumps blossomed down her neck, her spine, to her toenails.
“And it won’t
happen again,” she said with as much conviction as she could muster. “End of
discussion.” Her voice squeaked, again betraying her, though no worse than the
rest of her body.
He leaned in until
his lips were inches from hers. Her breathing hitched. She should have put some
distance between them, acres of distance, but her feet stuck to the floor. Her
eyes flickered to his lips. They’d been so soft last night and were so close
right now. One little taste wouldn’t hurt, would it? She reflexively
licked hers.
He moved in. His breath trailed her cheek, and his
lips hovered at the edge of her jaw, just below her earlobe. She arched her
neck back, giving him more access, then shivered, closed her eyes, and waited
to feel his lips on her neck.
Instead, his breath fanned her ear. “Liar,” he
whispered. Then he was gone.
