A Hot Winter

by C.J. Lake

When Emma hired Winter Construction to do some minor renovations on her house, she was told some guy named "Larry" would be over shortly. The last thing she expected when she opened the door was for Matt Winter himself to be standing there.

If Matt was going to do the work, that meant he would be in Emma's house with her, day after day... and what did she really know about him? Just that he was best friends with her sister's boyfriend. He was four years younger than her. Tall, dark and handsome. Charming and disarming. And the one time they'd spoken on the phone, many months earlier, had been an utter disaster. Oh, yeah, and then there was that lie she'd told him about moving to France (long story!)…

Now, up close and personal with Matt, Emma is even more flustered. But as a single mom without the time or the courage for romance, she's determined to keep things professional...

*This is a love story. Standalone novel, NO cliffhanger.
**Contains explicit/steamy scenes intended for mature readers.
