She wants a fling, and he wants forever...
Zoologist Sara Carmichael's active social life is the envy of all her friends, but she has a secret. She's bored senseless. If she has to go to one more bird sanctuary fundraiser with some guy who thinks his little sports car makes him "hip", she'll scream.
Enter Brad O'Halloran, her best friend Kim's much younger brother. A guy who's picking up the pieces after a quickie marriage and even quicker divorce. A guy so hot he makes her body scream with frustration.
Until Sara's apartment is renovated, they're all living at Kim's place. Despite her determination not to salivate at glimpses of Brad's finer-than-fine body in nothing but a low-slung towel, flirtation escalates to the brink of something more.
Now one of them has to back down...or ante up for some good, dirty fun with the unspoken understanding that when the time comes, they'll make a clean break. Neither anticipated they'd make the most complicated connection of all—love.
Warning: This book contains a hero who knows how to make engines— and women—purr, seduction while on cold meds, and a heroine who might be a little older but still enjoys learning a few naughty new tricks.
