Tall Dark and Texan

BOOK TWO: RETURN TO STONE CREEK

Mitch Defalco roars into Stone Creek, Texas, on the back of a Harley with his newly discovered daughter riding behind him. Single mom Sarah Cooper can't believe he's moved in next door. Back in high school, she had a secret crush on the dangerous bad boy and his dark good looks.

As Mitch tackles the responsibilities of fatherhood, Sarah is once again drawn by his seductive magnetism and the honest integrity he shows dealing with the circumstances in which he finds himself. Mitch believes he's bad news for Sarah, but when she asks for his help with a personal problem, he can't find the will power to refuse her dangerous request.

Excerpt:

Mitch didn't wait for permission. He moved in closer, touching his lips to hers, pressing gently, letting them both get a feel for the other. He'd sworn he wasn't going to kiss Sarah Cooper, but sitting next to her on the swing like this, she was a temptation he had no power to resist.

For a minute, she didn't respond and he worried that he'd overstepped his welcome. Then her lips trembled beneath his, and she exhaled a soft sigh. When he heard the little moan in the back of her throat, he put his arms around her and pulled her forward.

Mitch deepened the kiss, taking it to the next level, swiping his tongue against her lips. She opened for him, tilting her head for better access and he slid inside her mouth. She tasted of chocolate and vanilla and the sweet essence of Sarah.
