Publisher's Synopsis
Jake McClendon thought he needed to leave the only home he'd ever known. Briar Fields thought she needed to save her family. Neither thought they needed each other. Jake left the Double Ace Ranch with one thing in mind: to put as many miles between himself and his best friend's wife as possible. Ending up in the Deep South almost broke was not what he had in mind, but when he finds a job and a place to stay almost instantly he doesn't think it's such a bad idea. That is until he sees the one woman who makes him crazy: Briar Fields. When a ghost from her past shows up right on her doorstep, Briar has no clue what to do to get rid of him even as she wants to be in his arms again. Her body craves him even though her mind tells her to do what's sensible. How is she supposed to take care of her family when he haunts her every thought? Together, they may just burn each other down or create something that will last forever.
