When Emma Grant returns to her
family's Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations of her
father's will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out of the
house for good. She's never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer
avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young
daughter, she has no choice.
Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The
wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma's life years ago, but he's
determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma
and the house.
Their ridiculous and steamy battle
for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years

can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life,
or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?

EXCERPT:
Emma pulled herself to a standing
position. “Don’t pretend you know anything about me.”
“I know more about you than you know
about yourself, and that pisses you off!”
“Maybe once, but you know nothing
about me now!” She scanned the kitchen, anger bubbling inside her. Spotting the
eggs, she grabbed one out of the carton and smashed it into his chest.
“For real?” He looked down at his
shirt, mouth hanging open in surprise.
A sane person would have backed away
after catching the murderous look in his eyes. Emma didn’t budge.
“Do you need to cleanse now that
you’ve touched that egg?”
“Cleanse? Ha! After the Iuliano
brother assault, nothing short of a bombing will cleanse this place. In fact,
after your little stunt last night, I should level the whole house, and call in
an exorcist, or animal control!”
“You do that, Emma.” He picked up the
bottle of syrup and squirted a generous amount on the plate of pancakes. “Just
remember anything you do to this house, you only get to do to half of it.” He
smirked then grabbed a pancake from the plate. “Caveman, hungry. Eat!” he said,
in his best Tarzan impersonation. He moved to shove the whole thing in his
mouth, but then changed course at the last minute and smashed the pancake into
her chest, smearing syrup all over her halter top.
“You are going to pay for that,” she
said between clenched teeth.
“Princess, stuck living in this house
with you, I already am.”
