About this ebook

Lovers to friends to lovers…could it get any more complicated?

One thing Carissa Brandt knows: spontaneity always gets her in trouble. Still, she’s gone and jumped head first into an impulsive summer renovation project with her fingers crossed. When her contractor turns out to be a cheat, it seems her only lifeline is the proffered hand of Josh Hudson—the sexy Marine who left her aching for more than their single night together three years ago.

Josh has two hard and fast rules: never mix business with pleasure and don’t look twice at women his friends have dated, much less loved. It makes life in a small town simple—or it would, if he wasn’t harboring a secret with the potential to destroy his good name and the reputation of a woman he can’t get out of his head.

When Carissa finds herself in a bind, Josh’s integrity—both personal and professional—won’t let her fail. Will working together finally extinguish the attraction lingering between them? Or will the smoldering embers of their passionate rendezvous ignite all over again and set aflame the friendships they cherish the most?

Warning: This book contains a hella-sexy, inked up hero, a spunky heroine who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, smokin’ hot sex, and enough swearing to make your momma blush. For readers 18+.

Ratings and reviews

What a great story. These two people overcome doubt, and self imposed restrictions when both of their fathers come forward to help them understand themselves. After all, the heart wants what the heart wants, and each other is everything they need.

Great introduction to River Bend. Cant wait to get to know the rest of the crew. If they anyway close to being as steamy as Josh & Clarissa, I'm sure we'll all be fast book friends!

I urge you to read this. This book has suspense, guilt, love and lots of steam haha
