BLURB:

It was only supposed to be a one time thing. Something to satiate the need, an itch to scratch the tingling sensation of desire. But one touch led to another, and now the only thing they crave is the fire that’s burning into uncontrollable flames.

Violet Emery has always been a little quiet and introverted, especially after trying to deal with healing from a past relationship that nearly tore her apart. Instead of focusing on getting back into the dating world, she’d rather give her energy to reading and to her librarian profession. But when her friends decide to drag her out to a popular nightclub in downtown San Diego, she doesn’t realize she’s about to meet a handsome, seductive brown-eyed stranger. One that’ll turn her world upside down.

I never meant to fall for his big brown eyes or his devilish smirk, but he caught me exactly when I needed him the most.

Sam Brooks is a single dad of two teenage girls who struggles with keeping up with his daughters, navigating a new city, and trying to heal from a messy divorce. Moving halfway across the country from Oklahoma to California wasn’t in his cards, nor was opening a new nightclub and becoming the owner. He definitely wasn’t in a place to date around or even put himself back on the market, but all that changes when he meets a certain blue-eyed beauty that takes the breath from his lungs. Maybe just one night of innocent passion won’t hurt him.

I swore I was done with dating after my marriage imploded in on itself. But why can’t I stop thinking about her sparkling blue eyes or the way her soft laugh makes my chest feel like I can’t breathe?
