We turned out of the Inn at Sawyers Bend, a staff h the far end of the town of Sawyers Bend I'd arrived well after limpses of the town What I'd seen had appeared quaint and charht of a suht, the main street already croith tourists

Within a fewroad into the mountains I should have been scared to leave civilization with a stranger I was Kind of I didn't know any of these people Definitely couldn't trust them

Tipping ainst the soft leather headrest of Tenn's luxury SUV, I let out a sigh I was sorry that woman had died, but her death had solved a lot of problee, I'd withdrawn as ency fund stashed in the freezer, loaded up August, and taken off for North Carolina I hadn't slept since

Considering the deht-year-old bladder, it had taken us ale town outside of Boston all the way to Sawyers Bend, North Carolina

Go to Sawyers Bend That was all Thatcher had been able to tell me That they were headed to Sawyers Bend, but he didn't knohen they'd get here, and that the Sawyers had what they were looking for If I wanted this to end, I needed to see if I could find it

An ier and a terrible liar Two things that would not get me entry to any of the Sawyers' private spaces like the Inn or their historic Manor Except here I was, Tenn Sawyer's new best friend, being taken to his hoo

Good luck or bad? Hard to say For noas cautiously going with good Given what Tenn had said about the security at Heartstone Manor, I never would have been able to sneak in on my own

I could have gone after Tenn or one of his brothers, tried seduction to get in the house, but that would have causedhie for twentyhi way

And second, there was Tenn

I glanced away fro trees and snuck a look at Tennessee Sawyer My life was cursed by handsome men No, really Cursed My ex-husband was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen, and he'd been a major disappointood in bed, but that was the best thing I could say about him

I was currently having issues at work due to the new head of my department, another too-handsome man This one had decided I should be his newest extracurricular activity if I wanted a full professorship Forget that Not only was hewith men just because they were hot Been there, had the wasted years to show for it

Which brought me to Tenn Sawyer In another world, for another woood-looking as h in a totally different way Taller and broader for one I hadn'tshorts or the way the sleeves of his t-shirt stretched around his biceps Add deep blue eyes, thick, wavy, espresso-dark hair, and that serious demeanor—it was hard not to be tempted

You don't do temptation, remember?

That was right, I didn't I'd dated a few tiuys had been worth a second date Lately, I'd been too focused on the i as wereelse I definitely didn't have enough patience for the

Maybe Tenn Saasn't that te I was seriously sleep-deprived, and I hadn't been this close to ati me a little crazy He's probably not even that hot, I told myself It's just your hormones

Yeah, right Tenn Saas exactly that hot, but he was not forthat I'd sworn off men for the rest of forever, I was here under false pretenses Another co I needed Luck had landed h If I couldn't find what Thatcher was looking for, et extre around the universe to get me out of this disaster unscathed
