Mac Orman is on a mission. When he discovers his recently deceased father had been searching for his birth mother, Mac aims to finish the job by finding the grandmother he never knew. His quest leads him to Templeton Cove\u2014and a firecracker of a woman who instantly jump-starts his tortured heart.<\/p>\n

For Mac, Kate Harrington is the most tempting kind of distraction. But their sizzling connection comes with a side of suspicion for Kate, who doesn\u2019t trust this brooding stranger in her town. Mac arrived with no plans to stay, but as he falls for Kate, he wonders how he could ever possibly leave.<\/p>\n

EXCERPT<\/span><\/h2>\n

Oh, for the love of God. The man\u2019s smile was slow, soft and as sexy as hell. It was like an invisible aphrodisiac on her newly ignited libido. She took another sip of her drink, her heart racing and her body on fire. He looked at her as though he had X-ray vision\u2026or the ability to make her want to strip without the request even passing his lips. Every inch of her body was intensely aware of him and she didn\u2019t like it. Not one tiny bit. Good looks and even better bodies were not to be trusted. This guy could be just as much of a cheater as her ex. Even more so, if his killer smile was anything to go by. She couldn\u2019t imagine a woman not being affected by it. So why did she want to keep looking at him?<\/p>\n

He leaned his elbow on the bar and faced her. \u201cSo\u2026\u201d He took a sip of his drink. \u201cDo you<\/p>\n

live around here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Feigning nonchalance, she sat straighter on her stool and drew forth as much of a welcome attitude as she could. It wasn\u2019t this stranger\u2019s fault he\u2019d attracted and intrigued her in one very dangerous blow. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

He smiled. \u201cThat\u2019s all I get?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all you get.\u201d She returned his smile, her body relaxing a little. His voice was rich<\/p>\n

and deep and had the same warming effect on her as a shot of whiskey on a cold night. \u201cThat is, until I know a little more about you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShoot.\u201d He drank. \u201cAsk me anything you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d Her gaze dropped frustratingly to his mouth, most likely quashing her<\/p>\n

nonchalance in a heartbeat. She shifted on her seat and lifted her gaze to his\u2026although his eyes were by no means a safer option. She cleared her throat. \u201cWhat brings you to the Cove?\u201d<\/p>\n

His gaze locked on hers and the seconds ticked by. His blue eyes darkened as his smile<\/p>\n

faltered. Kate raised her eyebrows, curiosity whispering through her. \u201cWas that not a good<\/p>\n

question to start with?\u201d<\/p>\n

He flitted his focus to the band once more. \u201cI\u2019m looking for work.\u201d<\/p>\n

She frowned. \u201cIn Templeton?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s as good a place as any, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

She hazarded a guess that the shift in his tone was meant to induce a throw away question, to make her believe it was no big deal why he was in Templeton. Little did Mr. Bad Boy know, she was blessed\u2014or sometimes cursed\u2014with the innate ability to read between the lines, to sense when something wasn\u2019t quite right with people or situations. Her senses pinged to high alert with this guy at the sudden stiffness in his body, the way his jaw had set. His easy demeanour of a moment before had been replaced with clear defensiveness.<\/p>\n
