Tempted by Trouble

When a woman is the magnet for the wrong man, it takes a bad boy to break old habits.

Carolina Rodriguez is a large-animal veterinarian on a mission to escape South Florida. Willing to do just about anything, she accepts a job in Annona, Texas over the internet from a family connection. At her cousin's wedding, she runs into—literally—a handsome Texas in the parking lot. Matt McLemore is more than gorgeous, he's Carolina's new boss, and needs her help to determine why his cattle keep dying.

Matt proposes to introduce Carolina to his family as his girlfriend, giving her the opportunity to work and stay at his ranch without arousing his family's suspicion. Only when she learns she's the last chance to help save his family's cattle reputation (given his father's refusal to listen to reason and modern genetic testing) does she agree to act the part of his girlfriend.

Matt's instantaneous attraction to Carolina is an excruciating temptation but a roll in the hay may prove too volatile to handle. He attempts to keep a hands-off relationship until she arrives on his ranch and she is too hot to resist.

Carolina refuses to admit Matt's raw sensuality is more than overpowering or that she's the least bit tempted by a smooth talking bad boy. By the time the lab reports comes back, they've explored every inch of each other. All of a sudden, this fiery affair is more than just a fling. When a past flame threatens to overwhelm their newfound romance, Matt must find a way to stake his claim to Carolina's heart before it's too late.
