 BLURB:

When city girl Lily shows up in Bluestone County, cocky cowboy Jake reckons it won’t be long

until she hightails it back to London. It didn’t matter that his heartrate spiked whenever she was

nearby. Or that he couldn’t get her out of his head. Because Jake was the king of casual and

Lily was apparently the queen of picking the wrong men. 

 

Excerpt:

“You about done checking me out darlin’ or do ya want me to turn around and show you the

back?” Her face flamed as her eyes flicked back up to his face and she caught sight of his cocky

grin. Before she could attempt to deny what she’d been doing, his expression turned more

serious as he took his turn running his eyes up and down her. “I didn’t know Matt had a

daughter.”

Surprise, surprise.

“No s***. He wasn’t exactly father of the year.”

Lily couldn’t help but think of the irony. Her father had become friends with some guy young

enough to be his son, yet he still couldn’t quite be bothered to pick up the phone and call his

own daughter.

His smile became crooked as his glare intensified. “You always swear like a trucker, darlin’?

Here, I thought English women were all class and manners.”

Is he being serious?

Letting out a huff, she couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy, “I’m sorry, have I stepped into the

past? Are you gonna ask me why a little woman like me isn’t married next?”

“Alright sweetheart, calm down.” He sniggered, clearly amused by the steam coming out of her

ears.

Stepping closer to him, she tilted her head up to meet his gaze. “I’m not or will I ever be your

sweetheart. Now if you don’t mind, you need to get the hell out of my store before I call the

police.”
