Love happens when you
least expect it.
Officer Cody Duncan gave
up on love years ago. Or so he thought. He was content with his quiet
solitary life, until a clumsy waitress spilled hot coffee on his pants and
turned his world upside down. Suddenly, there’s a new heat in his life, filled
with cravings for things he once pushed aside.
Lily Jenkins’ busy life
as a single mom and primary caretaker for her elderly mother leaves little time
for herself. Struggling to adjust to a new life in a small town, her focus is
too easily derailed by the gorgeous man she accidentally spilled hot coffee on.
Knowing she has too much already going on, Lily vows to keep Cody at a
distance, even though she craves him in ways she never thought possible.
Their attempts at simple
friendship continually fail as they soon discover an untamable fire between
them whenever they are alone together.
Seeing a life he never
imagined for himself, will Cody have the patience to wait for the woman of his
dreams? Will Lily finally let go and give Cody the Keys to Her Heart?

As
they walked back up the main road in town, Cody couldn’t shake the feeling Lily
was holding back on him. From the outside, she seemed to have her life
together. She was strong and confident, but something told him there was a
story she wasn’t sharing. He wouldn’t push. If, and when, she was ready, he’d
listen. He didn’t plan on going anywhere.
God,
was he already thinking about the long haul with her? He was in trouble, and he
hadn’t even kissed her yet. He’d definitely thought about it, though.
“You’ve
been such a gentleman showing me around.” She tugged at the hem of her dress.
Her hot, sexy, want-to-rip-it-off-her dress.
“Who
better than me?” he flirted.
“I
can’t think of anyone.” She stared at him. Her long red curls begged him to
touch them. Were they as soft as they looked?
“We
should do this again.” His heart raced as he waited for her response.
“Yes.”
She stepped back a little, increasing the space between them. “My evening
schedule is kind of hectic. So daytime is best for me.”
“I
understand. You have your son to care for.”
Her
gaze darted away and she sucked in her bottom lip. “Yeah. Speaking of which,
he’ll be home before long, and I should be there to get him off the bus.”
He
hated that their time together was ending. “Okay. Let me walk you to your car.”
“You
don’t have to.”
“I
want to.”
She
gave him the cute little grin he found himself adoring already. Of course,
she’d parked near Luigi’s, which had them to her car too quickly.
Lily
leaned against the side and he could practically see the wheels turning in her
head. Was she debating the kiss as much as he was? Oh yeah, he wanted to
explore those sweet lips of hers, but not yet. Not until he could spend a good
few minutes with her.
