“We’ve been hot and heavy, but this kiss is filled with a carnal need that is consuming every ounce of my being.” Marlee Mackey thinks I didn’t want her but I could never forget the taste of her on my lips. She was the girl next door. A wild spirit with a heart of gold and a body made for sin. And sin we did. I was consumed by her. For one night she was mine, then I had to let her go. Now she’s back, and I’ll do anything to make her mine again. Waylon Thayer wasn’t just my older brother’s best friend – he was my everything. Until he wasn’t. I knew the rules but he still broke my heart without a backward glance. That was three years ago. Being back home stirs up all those unrequited feelings I tried to put behind me. Waylon may still have a smile that makes my knees weak but I’m different now. I’m putting me first. That was my plan but one kiss, one night in his arms ignites a fire inside me I can’t deny. I can’t say no to Waylon Thayer but I’ll have to if he wont ask me to stay. Back in the Country is a full length novel and the first book in the Clementine Creek Series. It's a steamy contemporary romance with lots of heart and a happily ever after.
