Heartbreak Brothers Next Generation

Keeping away from Michael Devlin should be easy. He's too old for her. Too jaded. And completely forbidden. The only problem is, he rocks her world . . . When Grace tries to steal Michael's cab in the middle of a torrential downpour, their chemistry is instant. And after one unforgettable night in his hotel room, it looks like life is finally going her way. But in the morning a shocking revelation rips her world apart, and she has to leave him for good without saying goodbye. A year later, Grace is living quietly in her small home town when she sees Michael storming toward her. He demands answers, so she tells him exactly why she left that morning. Michael agrees they should avoid each other, but he's staying in her small town for a few months and not bumping into each other is almost impossible. He's not supposed to touch her. Or kiss her until they're both breathless and needy. And he's definitely not supposed to make her fall for him. But forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest. At least until you get found out . . . Contains mature themes.

After an accident ends her big city ballet career, Cassie Simons is ready for a brand-new start, moving a to small town to help run her best friend's dancing school. She knows she's made the right choice-the kids love her, she gets to spend lots of time with her bestie, and the flashbacks to her car crash are slowly starting to dissipate. The only fly in the ointment is moody single dad, Pres Hartson. From the moment they meet, when Pres is running late picking up his daughter from class, sparks fly between them. It doesn't matter that the man is all muscle and grit. Or that her heart skips a beat every time they bump into each other. He's trouble with a capital 'T' and she's had more than her fair share of that. Since he lost his wife three years ago, Pres isn't interested in women. And definitely not in his kid's dance teacher, no matter how good she looks in a leotard. All he wants is to raise his daughter in peace, to build up his construction business, and to keep his matchmaking family off his back. But then Cassie joins the band that Pres and his brother play in for kicks. And before long the two of them are making sweet music together. He shouldn't touch her, he knows that. She's too young and innocent, and he's way too broken to start a relationship. The only problem is, he can't stop himself... Contains mature themes.
