“Yeah?”
“Be safe out there.”
Brody nodded. “Always.”
CHAD WAITED UNTIL his big brother disappeared from sight. He was tempted to sit Brody down and have a long talk with him about what was important in life. Work and duty were on the list, but not at the top. In Chad’s book, love came first, or at least it did now that he had Lena in his life.
But he had a feeling his big brother wouldn’t listen. He’d been caring for others for so long, he’d forgotten how to take a break and do something for himself—like get laid.
“Don’t tell me you got dressed,” Chad said, slipping into the truck once the coast was clear, careful to keep Hero on the outside.
“No, I’m still ready and waiting for you,” Lena murmured, pulling him close for a kiss as her hands pushed his shirt off his shoulders.
With his mouth pressed against hers, he unbuttoned his pants, and with her help slid them down over his hips.
“We’re acting like teenagers,” Lena murmured, sliding onto Chad’s lap, her back to the steering wheel. “We should rejoin the party.”
“Soon, beautiful. First I need to hear you scream my name.”
Lena rocked her hips against him, letting him feel how wet and ready she was for him. In one fluid motion, she reached over, plucked a condom off the dash, and covered him. Holding his cock with one hand, she took him in, inch by inch.
They rocked together, allowing the pleasure to build. They had all night to make love. And the next night and the night after that . . .
Chad cupped her bare breasts, teasing her nipples, his gaze fixed on her face. This was not the time or the place, but the words slipped out anyway. “Ever think about getting married again?”
Lena stilled above him, her body tightening its hold on his cock. “Chad Summers, are you proposing?”
“No, Lena.” He ran his hands up to her collarbone and down over her arms. Wrapping his fingers around her wrists, he pinned them behind her back. “You’ll know when I’m proposing. Right now, I’m just asking if you think about it.”
“Look at me,” she ordered.
He loved the way she vied for control while he held her tight. “Oh, I’m looking, beautiful.”
“I love you, Chad Summers,” she said, her blue eyes shining bright. “And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So when you’re ready, ask.”
Hope swelled inside him. He didn’t doubt her. He had faith in their love for each other. But he wanted more. He wanted her forever.
Releasing her wrists, he cupped her face in his hands, drawing her lips down to meet his. He kissed her softly, savoring the intimate touch.
“I will, Lena. Count on it.”

Wild With You
Book Four: Independence Falls
One night with a hero is just what she needs. But more spells trouble . . .
Growing up on the wrong side of everything, Dr. Katherine “Kat” Arnold left small-town life in Independence Falls for New York City and never looked back. But when she is asked to consult on a case involving a young man who lost his short-term memory following a logging accident, Kat relents. Part of her looks forward to showing her hometown how she has thrived. And she doesn’t have to wait long. Her first night in Portland, before she drives to Independence Falls, she sees him. Tall, dark, and handsome, Brody Summers is a familiar face in a sea of strangers. But he doesn’t connect her polished doctor persona with the girl who watched him from afar in high school. It seems like the perfect opportunity for a down-and-dirty affair with the man of her dreams . . .
Brody Summers saves people. For years, he looked out for his younger siblings and ran the family business. Now he works search and rescue. After a botched mission outside of Portland, Brody heads to the city, planning to take a night off. And he wouldn’t say no to no-holds-barred sex with the blond city girl. But the next day when he returns to his duties as head of the family and meets his brother’s new doctor, Brody realizes the past is returning to haunt him—and it goes back further than one wild night.
The last thing Kat wants is a reason to extend her stay in the town that failed her as a child. But she can’t escape the memory of Brody’s wicked touch, or the desire for more.
Brody is counting on Kat to help his brother. He can’t allow their personal relationship, past or present, to interfere. But as the passion heats up, Brody wonders if he is falling for the one woman who doesn’t need or want him to be her hero. And what would it take to change her mind?
