Synopsis
Kelly's world is far
from perfect. She keeps several states between herself and her
overbearing mother, and she's sick of her friends playing matchmaker.
Her naive teaching ambitions haven't panned out, and after years of
spinning her wheels in a troubled school district, she's tired of
fighting an uphill battle.
Then her missing father calls, and she reluctantly heads to Texas to hear him out. Their reunion isn't exactly a Hallmark moment, but Kelly falls hard for the vibrant city of Austin, and Mac Hildebrandt, the blue-eyed smart-ass who works with her dad. Her choice to move isn't about her father; it's in spite of him.
Since his disastrous divorce, Mac's been satisfied as a bachelor. He's interested in two things: knocking boots and looking out for his kid. Kelly crashes into his life and leaves him reeling from the impact. Try as he might, he can't shake her sweet smile, and that body of hers ain't half bad either. Still, she's Francis's daughter, and Mac's volatile ex is a constant chore, so the complications are impossible to ignore. He ought to know better, but the sparks between them are just too tempting to resist.

Excerpt
When she opened the door, I pushed my way in without a word. Her
eyes were bright and a little scared; but she’d asked me to come, and I planned to do just that.
Her face was scrubbed free of make-up, and she was wearing a
long white t-shirt. It was obvious that she thought I’d turned her down, and she was ready for sleep. Frankly, the
t-shirt was fucking sexy, far hotter than any Victoria’s Secret shit she could have come up with. Her hair was all down
around her, and my hands were fisting it instantly.
She opened her mouth to speak, but I didn’t allow it. My mouth was on hers, and though she hesitated for a
second, it was exactly that before she gave back what she got. Her hands raked
through my hair, tugging my mouth closer to hers, her tongue reminding me just
what she was capable of. I slid my hands down to her bare thighs and lifted the
shirt over her head.
“Mac…,” she sighed, as if ready to launch into another one of her
lectures about how we shouldn’t do
what we were about to do. I looked down to see that she wasn’t wearing a bra, and a primal growl escaped me.
“Shhhh,” I urged, backing her against the wall and caging her between my
arms.
“But—” She whimpered, and I froze, cocking my head to the side.
“Do you want this?” I asked.
“What kind of question—” she started, a fire
lighting behind her milk chocolate eyes.
“Yes or no, Kelly?” I interrupted.
She stopped short, her eyes darting back and forth as she
assessed the message in mine.
“Yes.” Her breathless response was accompanied by her hands reaching
for my zipper. I interrupted her attempt to undress me, running my hands down
the back of her panties and hoisting her up until her legs were around my
waist. Her breath caught, and her arms wrapped around my neck. I moved in to
kiss her again, loving the taste of her glossy lips and her sweet tongue. She
moaned into me, grinding against my waist. I could feel the heat of her even
through my t-shirt, and her arousal drove me to get her naked, pronto.
I stumbled blindly in the direction of her bedroom, taking my
hands off her ass long enough to feel my way through the doorframe. Kelly clung
to me, sucking on my tongue, making all the blood rush away from my brain and
in a southerly direction. I rested her back onto the bed, pulling back from her
so I could take in every inch of her beautiful body.
She froze, her expectant eyes locked onto mine, glassy and
wanton. I hooked my finger in her panties, and she raised her narrow hips, a
silent consent that I was taking full advantage of.
