WHAT IS WITH MIKE
McCAULEY?
Every time Delilah Webster
runs into Mike McCauley, he practically bites her head off. The
rough-and-tumble contractor clearly has baggage. Del has her own emotional
scars and knows she’s better off keeping her distance, but Mike’s temptation in
jeans and a T-shirt and she’s always been good with her hands…
There’s something about the
strong-willed mechanic that sets Mike’s motor running—and scares the hell out
of him. Mike has loved and lost and will never hurt like that again, even if
that means walking away from a woman who makes him feel alive for the first
time in years.
When a simple kiss turns hot
and heavy, Mike discovers he can’t stay away, no matter how certain he is
they’re destined to crash and burn…
An Excerpt
She didn’t like him towering
over her desk. Over her. She rose to
her feet and wondered if standing on her chair to gain a height advantage would
seem too juvenile. “Well what? J.T. and I met Vanessa and Cam for a game of
bowling. Colin was there. We might have let a few words slip, but it was an
accident.” Through the door, a loud curse sounded. “I work in a garage. We’re
not having a tea party, McCauley. Grow a set of stones and deal.”
“Mike.”
“What?”
He
took a step closer, and she had a hard time looking away from his eyes. Man,
she’d never seen a blue so…blue. “My name is Mike.”
“Mike.”
She licked her lips, not liking the sudden dryness. To her consternation, his
gaze fixed on her mouth. “So, uh, get over it.”
“Right.”
Mike took a deep breath, then let it out and stepped back. “Quit cursing around
my kid.”
“I’ll
try.” For once he hadn’t ordered her to stop seeing Colin. “I don’t know when
I’ll be seeing him again, so it probably doesn’t matter.”
Mike shrugged. “Abby’s putting together a celebration
party Wednesday night, for her new book deal, I think. She’ll probably invite
you.”
Actually,
Abby had sent the invitation via email that morning. “Oh. You’re going?”
“Yeah.”
That handsome smile he so seldom wore appeared, showing a dimple in his left
cheek. “But I know how I scare you, so I don’t figure I’ll see you Wednesday
night. Don’t worry, I’ll tell Colin you were busy.”
“Scare
me? You?” She huffed. “In your
dreams, Mike.” She moved around the
desk to poke him in his rock-solid chest. “I’ll be there Wednesday. Try not to
be more of an ass than you can help. I mean, your kid will be there. Don’t want
to show Colin what you’re really made of.”
He leaned down, so that his
nose was all but touching hers. “Sweetheart, you couldn’t handle what I’m
really made of.”
