BOOK SYNOPSIS
He wants to tame her…After losing his wife to her wild ways at a young age, Tristan moved on to follow a higher calling. He finds comfort in helping others and has no intention of inviting drama back into his life. That is, until temptation blows into town.
She wants to corrupt him…
Riley is a foul-mouthed, bad-tempered, and bitter soul. Down on her luck and on the run from another terrible decision, the last thing she needs is a soul-saving hottie pushing his way into her life.
But will they end up destroying each other?
Taming Riley becomes an obsession for Tristan. With his reputation on the line and Riley’s heart on the table, can Tristan find a way to keep both? It only takes a dash of desire to ignite a flame when this savior and sinner collide. But this is one inferno that could end up destroying them both.

EXCERPT
The chain rattled.
“Riley, Brother Daniels’ truck is out front. Have
you…”
Tristan jumped away from Riley as Billy burst onto the
scene.
The woman froze, as she caught sight of him standing
in the center of Riley’s bedroom. No doubt, he was also looking guilty as
sin…and turned on. He definitely was that.
“Oh. There you are.”
“Riley fell,” he said without giving her a chance to
question what she’d—no doubt—witnessed coming through the door. A loving
expression touched her features as she eyed them both.
“I’m not surprised. Poor girl. You wouldn’t believe
how many calls I got from West Anaheim ER, letting me know my baby had broken
another bone.” Billy’s voice hardened. “Especially, since my no-good sister,
Marty…”
“Billy, please?” Riley said, cutting her off.
With a sheepish grin, Billy blushed. “Sorry darling.
Sometimes I forget.”
Riley crossed the room, and gave the older woman a
quick hug.
She toyed with Riley’s hair, tugging it over one
shoulder and sliding her hand down the locks. “Anyhow,” she said, turning her
attention back to Tristan. “My girl has a good job. She never would let me come
take care of her, since she could afford to hire someone to do it.” Flashing
Riley an exasperated look, she added, “This one has never needed anyone. Thank
goodness, since Marty…”
“Billy,” Riley said, reeling her aunt in, once more.
“I’m sorry. It’s just with it being your birthday and
her doing what she did, I just.” Tearing up, Billy covered her mouth. A sob
still broke loose. Before anyone had time to react, she walked out, closing the
door behind her as she left.
Riley stared unblinking at the wood separating them from
the rest of the world. “Wow.
Tristan was baffled by Riley’s obvious shock.
As she turned wide eyes his way, her voice came out in
a horrified whisper. “She was crying. I’ve never seen Billy cry. That’s the
same woman who used to make me pick my own switch when I misbehaved.”
A chuckle rose in Tristan’s throat. “I didn’t know it
was your birthday.”
Riley motioned toward the door, still seemingly
floored. “She once beat a chicken to death with a shovel after it chased me
down the driveway. I was scarred for years.”
Tristan’s chuckle turned to a full-on laugh.
“I’m being serious. She cooked him afterward. I
haven’t looked at a drumstick the same since.”
Tristan swiped at his eyes.
“Happiness looks damn sexy on you.”
He glanced away, uncomfortable with the change in
topic. Happiness was one thing he knew little about. “Being in your company
seems to have that effect on me,” he said, half hoping to fill the silence and
half needing her to know the truth. “How old are you today?” He asked, changing
the subject.
“Twenty-eight. Why? Do you intend to spank me?” She
sounded hopeful.
There were no safe topics where Riley was concerned.
