Three fiancés in three years makes Zoe Chantilly’s relationship column for
the Georgia Times her only semblance of commitment…that is until her dating
advice takes a dive down the Suwannee and she’s fired.
Unemployed and single, she leaves the sweltering heat of the south and
heads to the UKfor a man-free break from life. The plan? Get with nature,
write a novel, and be alone. Be very much alone. But nature has other plans for
Zoe.
Navigating the backcountry roads of Wales seems just as
complicated as her love life. A near-collision hones her desires in on Dylan
Mostyn, a Leo seething with a raw prowess and macho magnetism the Aquarius in
her can’t resist.
This Welshman is as arrogant as he is gorgeous. He’s also her landlord.
The undeniable and thunderous attraction between them pinnacles during a
karaoke duet at the village fete, but what starts as a no-strings fling quickly
spirals toward dangerous ground.

Excerpt
Present Day, August 1, 2015
“Dwi’n caru ti,” he rasped in Welsh, rounding out his vowels and sharpening
his Rs.
Uh-oh. Dylan Mostyn only slipped into his native language around Zoe when
he was horny.
He entwined his fingers with hers, his gray stare fierce yet his touch
gentle.
“Did you hear me, Chantilly?” he prodded, his voice low and gruff with his
own brand of rustic charm and raw macho energy. “Dwi’n caru ti…I love you.”
Ah, heck, how was she supposed to resist him now?
Like a teenager about to get her first-ever kiss, she quivered, her knees
knocking together.
Damn him for being so…so…so British. With his sexy accent and his Hugh
Grant hair flop and Gerald Butler’s down and dirty swoon factor. And his
dimples. Gah. If she wasn’t so weak-willed, she’d squeeze in one last wham-bam
before heading back to the States.
Who was she kidding? A quickie wouldn’t sate her needs. Not anymore. What
had Wales—what had Dylan—done to her? Love, a four-letter word she dreaded. In
all her thirty-one years, she hadn’t truly loved anyone. Had she inadvertently
fallen for him? Truly fallen for him? Like head-over-ass and giddy-in-love
fallen for him?
Impossible.
“You can’t leave.” He edged her against the wall of the farm-style kitchen
in the stone cottage, his chest pressing against hers. “Not yet.”
“Umm.” Between his hard body and a stone wall, Zoe dodged his lips by
leaning to the left and pointing to the whistling kettle atop the gas stovetop.
His masculine scent with subtle hints of amber and musk enveloped her and
melted her a little more.
“Do you love me?”
