A Wicked Temptation

Daria Wells knew better than to get involved with a cop, even a retired cop. It doesn't matter that he's gorgeous, or that his kisses and scent leave her dizzy, weak and wanting more. He's a temptation she's unable to refuse. Thankfully it's only lust, and lust will burn itself out soon enough. He knows casual sex is the most she can offer.

Joe Cimminelli is the small town's newest resident. He left the police force after an injury that hasn't healed well. Yes, the mayor has asked him to fill in as the town's sheriff, but that's only a temporary job. He's bought a wood maker's shop a few doors from Daria's place. His wants are simple, to create beautiful pieces from wood. More than that, he wants on a far more permanent basis, the dark-haired beauty who offered only casual sex.

Daria knows there's no need to worry. Trouble in this small country town barely exists, except for the trouble Joe brought with him.
