When I move back to my ex's small town, I want to avoid him at all costs. JD didn't just break my heart ten years ago. He ran it over, then backed over it again. So naturally, I end up as his physical therapist. And to rub salt in the wound, he finds out I'm living out of my car and demands I move into his spare room. Yeah, he's as bossy as ever. He still acts like he's allergic to laughter. But he also pampers me after a long night out, remembers my favorite lunch...and insists on making it for me when I forget to eat.

That means dealing with his annoying flirting and one-upping all day, every day. He's unbearably cocky, and his dimpled smile charms everyone with a pulse—except for me.

I know that when it ends, he'll be gone, because he promised me one rule...

“Big Country.” That name—my name—had Dodger Stadium shaking when I won the World Series. Now they’re talking suspension? Please. I’m a national legend. The pride of NOLA. But the only thing dragging my six-foot-four frame into my Creole restaurant is her…Journey. That woman’s a walking challenge—sharp tongue, soft smile, and eyes that promise trouble.

She's burned out, bored, and hungry for something she can't name—until she locks eyes with a smooth-talking cowboy in a dusty Stetson and a gold grill that flashes like danger. Karderro Watson doesn't believe in coincidences. So when a sharp-tongued beauty in cotton pants dares him to ruin her night, he takes that as a challenge—and a promise.

I’m not truly one of the devout, bonneted brides who traveled to my sister’s wedding in Scotland hoping to find a pious mate in her adopted kingdom pack.
