Cece (Dame City #6)
Katy Branden

No one from CeCe Hendrix’s past would ever say she was a good girl. To see her serving sweets at a place called Naughty Nancy’s would knock their socks off. She is, though. She’s trying to stay on the right track. She even goes as far as to make Dame City history by being the first woman to ever volunteer to work for the Attraction Council. After an ex from her past shows up, she has to work even harder to keep her nose clean. Wesley Hargraves is a retired Navy doctor getting back to his roots. Finding work while getting back on the bull led him straight to Dame City. The crazy town that lets him forget his own dark past could really become home if he lets himself get cozy. And cozy is just what he wants to get with the candy shop girl who seems to be hiding from her own demons. With an ex that is set on destroying her chances of staying in Dame City, a job that literally makes her teeth ache with all the sugar she’s consuming, and a sexy doctor sniffing after her, CeCe feels like doing somersaults straight into the crazy house. After conniving with Aunt Mae, she may as well already be there. When she got off probation a year earlier, she thought she was done scheming and plotting, but it seems she can’t get away from it. It’s in her, just as much as the extra ten pounds she’s gained from eating all the old fudge from her job. All she knows is she’s got to get rid of the extra weight, hers and her ex. If she can manage to get a taste of a certain sweet cowboy without ruining him, she could be persuaded to do that, too. Everything’s fair in rodeo and speed dating. Eight seconds or five minutes: stay on the bull and listen for the bell to find out if you’ve found heaven or hell.
