Smooth-Talking the Hometown Girl

Wealthy and successful, Kyle Warren never backs down from a challenge—in business or in pleasure. Marriage-minded now, he's returned to his hometown and set his sights on blonde-haired, blue-eyed Christy Evans, the one girl he couldn't win over in high school. This time, Kyle won't take no for an answer from the pretty girl next door.

Running a catering business and writing a heart-healthy cookbook, doesn't leave Christy much time for romance. All she has to do is keep her distance from her seriously sexy, temporary neighbor. Yet, Kyle needs a friend now and Christy has always been a sucker for a man in need. She vows not to fall for Kyle's good looks, broad shoulders and dark bedroom eyes. She'd seen the damage he'd left in his wake in high school. But how long can a girl resist his seductive smiles and smooth-talking ways?
