A Small-Town Temptation

    

A Small-Town Temptation

All work and no play would make Jack a very dull boy...

Charlie Keene has poured everything she's got into running her father's concrete company, and now her brother wants to sell. Worse, handsome acquisitions specialist Jack Maguire's arrived in town...and he wants to buy. Charlie's worked too hard to let the family firm go.

One delicious dance and an even more surprising dinner later, all bets are off, as Charlie draws Jack into her Carnelian Cove world. But what does he really want–her or her company? And can Charlie ever trust a man in love if she can't trust him in life?
