Drucilla Lawrence's life is nicely settled: she loves her job at the family-owned Star Lake Lodge resort, and her young son Tate and her aunt and uncle are all the family she needs--though she wishes she had a man in her life. But beware what you wish for....when hard-eyed but ruggedly gorgeous J. D. Carver shows up, claiming part-ownership of the Lodge, Dru doesn't know if she wants to kiss him or kill him. He's tough, abrasive, and seems to know just how to push her buttons. But he's also unexpectedly--well, almost sweet, in a guy sort of way--with Tate. And lordy, can he kiss! J. D. practically grew up in the streets, and he's always steered clear of "good girls"--and Dru's clearly a home-and-hearth, ring-around-my-finger type.

When she turns that warm-hearted smile on him, he knows he's lost. But maybe, for the first time in J. D.'s life, he's also found...
