As a forty-year-old man, I didn’t choose the single life, the single life chose me. I’ve made peace with it. What else can I do when I’ve never met a soul who makes me do a double take and toss the axe aside? So when I stumble upon an abandoned car stuck on the Carolina Ridge mountain highway, and the girl who owns it, I don’t expect it to be any different. But sweet god almighty, it is. With all her curves, Kelly not only makes me forget how to spell the word "axe," she makes every inch of my flesh feel like it’s been singed in a forest fire. I want her. I need her. I must have her. But she makes it abundantly clear … she’s not interested in me. She’s not interested in anyone. Not now, not ever. Because she’s promised to a life of celibacy, with plans to join a convent. Sweet heavens, I hope the lord above doesn’t strike me down for the thoughts I’m having. Or for the plans I’m concocting to make her mine. Forever. **Here you will find OTT instalove and an insanely fast burn romance with a guaranteed HEA. Each book features a different couple but should be read in order.
