Single mom Alexa Rodriguez’s first child-free vacation in years is supposed to be low-key. But then she meets brooding Texas rancher Hayes Elliott. Heir to an empire and suffering deep emotional pain, he tries to push her away—even as she craves his touch. And when a storm strands them together, their undeniable chemistry explodes. Now Alexa finds herself introducing Hayes to her precious son, imagining herself in Hayes’s world and keeping secrets that could destroy everything…

This was crazy.

She’d just met the man, yet he did something to her that she couldn’t quite put into words. Granted right now she was having a difficult time with any coherent thought other than “take your shirt off, cowboy.”

He took a step closer, never looking away from her eyes, her mouth. “Your clothes are all wet again.”

“They’re your clothes,” she countered.

The corner of his mouth tipped up. “Yours are dry now if you want to change.”

She pulled in a deep breath, her breasts brushing against his chest. Had he closed the distance so tight or had she stepped forward? She’d been so mesmerized by his voice, his predatory gaze.

“Are you changing?” she asked.

Hayes reached behind his back and jerked the wet shirt up and over his head, tossing it onto the wood porch with a heavy smack. Ink covered his chest and up one shoulder. Dark hair glistened all over his pecs.

“You’re not playing fair,” she told him.

“Who said I was playing?”

He thrust his hands into her hair and covered her mouth before she could take a breath.
