From one night...to forever!
Dr. Paige Carlyle knows all about bad alpha boys. So when one breaks into her home, she’s ready to knock him out. But surely he’s not supposed to look that hot!
Surgeon Tyler Reese wasn’t expecting a warm welcome home, but the cute, fiery pixie in residence is a complete surprise! Unable to avoid each other, soon their uneasy attraction leads to one unforgettable night. Tyler wasn’t staying forever, but now he might not be able to walk away...
Paige uttered an ear-piercing shriek and stumbled back a couple of steps, nearly falling over a deckchair.
“Stop doing that!” she said, catching herself.
For a few moments her heavy breathing filled the darkness, reminding Ty of things he hadn’t had in a while. Things he’d convinced himself this morning that he didn’t feel for Paige Carlyle. Things that should have scared him into escaping back to California but kept him glued to the lounger because he was tired of running.
She stomped closer and demanded, “What are you doing sitting out here? It’s freezing!”
He reached out, snagged her hand and pulled.
Paige gave a startled “oomph” and tumbled right into Ty’s lap.
“Wha—what are you doing?” she squeaked, as light from her apartment spilled over her shocked face.
And then Ty did what he’d told himself he didn’t want. He swooped down and crushed her soft mouth with his. He’d meant it as punishment for everything she’d put him through, but the instant his mouth touched hers he wanted more.
I just love writing about quirky characters—and my heroine, Paige Carlyle, is as quirky as they come! Growing up in a houseful of alpha males, she quickly learned it was stand up for herself or get stuck doing sweaty sports-guy laundry for ever. And Paige is no one’s fool. She’s smart, independent, and prepared to take down intruders faerie-commando-style, totally surprising Dr Tyler Reese, who’s returned to the Olympic Peninsula to reconnect with his father and recuperate from an accident that threatens his surgical career.
Frankly, a feisty, quirky woman is exactly what this handsome surgeon needs to jolt him out of his funk. Maybe she didn’t quite mean to knock him unconscious—but, hey, for a girl who’s spent most of her adult life with her nose buried in medical textbooks, having a hunk fall at her feet is the biggest thrill of the decade.
Despite himself, Ty finds himself falling—in an entirely new way—for his very distracting neighbour. Of course he tries to deny his feelings—silly man!—but he’s a smart guy and finally admits to himself that Paige is as perfect for him as he is for her.
I hope you find yourself falling for Paige and Ty’s story too.
Happy reading,
Lucy

With two beautiful daughters, LUCY RYDER has had to curb her adventurous spirit and settle down. But, because she’s easily bored by routine, she’s turned to writing as a creative outlet, and to romances because—‘What else is there other than chocolate?’ Characterised by friends and family as a romantic cynic, Lucy can’t write serious stuff to save her life. She loves creating characters who are funny, romantic and just a little cynical.
