Sometimes, all it takes…
Raynebeaux Starr's life is damn near perfect. She has wonderful friends. An interesting career. A man when she wants and none when she doesn't, thank you very much. But when tragedy strikes and she’s named guardian to her six year old niece, her world is turned upside down. She finds herself alone in a new town with a small child, no parenting skills and desperate for guidance. Until she meets Father Jared Sloan. The sexiest minister she's ever seen. He is kind, patient and a literal God-send. If only she could stop having unholy thoughts about him!
…is one little lie,
Jared Sloan's love life is a disaster. He has one girlfriend he can't shake, and an ex-fiancée on his doorstep wanting him back. As if things weren't complicated enough, he encounters what must be a fallen angel in a church parking lot. Little does he know when he offers her counseling that she would be unlike anyone he's ever experienced. He wants to be the kind of man she can trust. He also wants to taste her so bad it hurts.
…to lead you to the truth.
Can Jared convince Raynie there is such a thing as happily-ever-after? Or will his deceit only confirm her belief that fairy tale endings don't exist in the real world. Especially not in Lubbock, Texas.
EXCERPT
Water pelted his lower back until he couldn’t stand it anymore. He considered crashing on the couch, but what could be the harm in sleeping together? She was down for the count, and he’d be up long before her. Besides, with his injury, he didn’t think he would survive on the sofa. He pulled on a pair of running shorts and tee-shirt, then downed a couple of pain relievers.
When he crawled between the sheets, she slid next to him and wrapped an arm around his waist. Dang, this might be harder than he thought. He lifted her wrist and returned it to her side only to have her snuggle closer, snake it to the same spot, and press her cheek to his chest. He might need another shower. This time a cold one. He squeezed his eyes tight and counted backwards from a hundred.
