And while the affair is hot enough set the badlands on fire, when the flames burn out, will their lifelong friendship survive, or go up in smoke?Īn all-new novel from the author of After Hours. But when bottled-up desires hit this hard, this fast, after so long, the results are positively explosive. And though they’re a recipe for disaster, the mutual attraction brewing between them is too tempting to deny. Raina is Miah’s polar opposite-she’s as hot-headed as he is self-possessed, as wild as he is steady. Except lately, Miah’s begun looking at his bartender differently. Miah is a man of simple pleasures-after a long day overseeing his family’s cattle ranch, a cool drink in his hand and a barstool under his backside are all he needs. Now in their thirties, their lives are changing, and so is the way Miah looks at Raina-a sizzling tension has begun to smolder, impossible to ignore. Jeremiah Church and Raina Harper have been close since they were kids, back when life was all about hot Nevada summers spent running wild on the backs of their motorcycles with their friends.

If they want to have more than just an affair, both will have to open up and reveal what they truly need. But he can’t play the tough guy indefinitely.

She’s seen firsthand, via her mess of a sister, what chaos guys like him can bring into a woman’s life. Kelly Robak is the type of guy that Erin has sworn she’d never get involved with. Needing to move closer to her dysfunctional family, she takes a dangerous job at Larkhaven Psychiatric Hospital, where she quickly learns that she needs protection-and she meets the strong, over-confident coworker who’s more than willing to provide it. A dangerous infatuation with a rough and ready man… Erin Coffey has been a nurse for years, but nothing’s prepared her for the physical and emotional demands of her new position.
