She’s hiding a secret from this rancher that may change everything...
Georgie Romero’s daddy had one die-hard rule: do not get involved with Austin Calloway. Yet when she left town six years ago, her fling with the blue-eyed heartbreaker wasn’t the only secret she hid. Now the job of a lifetime has brought her—and her young son—back to the Calloways’ Texas ranch...and the sizzling chemistry with Austin that still lingers.
As the daughter of a rival family, Georgie has always been forbidden. But Austin’s never been one to follow the rules. Will he feel the same way about Georgie once he learns about their son?
“Before you go, there’s something I just have to do,” Austin said.
She released a weary sigh. “What now?”
“This.”
He framed her face in his palms and covered her mouth with his before she had time to issue a protest. She knew she should pull away, but as it had always been, she was completely captive to the softness of his lips, the gentle stroke of his tongue, his absolute skill. No one had ever measured up to him when it came to kissing. She suspected no one ever would.
Once they parted, Austin tipped his forehead against hers. “Man, I’ve missed this.”
“We’re not children anymore, Austin. We can’t go back to the way it was.”
He took an abrupt step back. “I’m not suggesting we do that. But we can go forward, see where it goes.”
“It won’t go anywhere because you’ll never be able to give me what I want.”
“What do you want, Georgie?”
“More.”
