Craved: A single dad small town romance (Wild Winter Nights #3)
Billie Bloom

(Especially not when I get to watch him paint shirtless).
He’s got a hard candy shell, but I’m determined to tease him until I crack it. Pretty soon he’s chasing me through the hotel and straddling me on a bed to get his revenge…
Not that it leads anywhere good, because West has the self-control of a monk. Sigh .
He says it’s because he’s a single dad. He says it’s because he’s friends with my parents…but even a former marine has to give in to his desires sometimes.
When West finally kisses me, I light up like a Times Square Christmas tree. He loses his restraint…I lose my shirt…
But then his guard is back up before anything good can happen.
Maybe I should go back to being a chef in New York and leave him be. But West is a recipe I really want to taste.
How do I get this man to take a chance on me?
