She didn’t need a lover…He wanted to be more than a friend…

Travis Worthington-Deane appreciated the good life—he’d worked his butt off to build his ranch into one of the finest in Texas, but that didn’t mean he was all work and no play.

He was more than willing to play with Dr. Lacy McGareth. His pretty neighbor took everything far too seriously. It became a real challenge to make her smile.

Lacy just wanted to find her equilibrium again after a near tragedy that almost killed her and her best friends just a few short months ago.

The last thing she needed was to get involved with the governor’s too charming younger brother!

Travis was good at getting through her defenses.

But Someone else wanted Lacy to smile just for him, though. Someone with an axe to grind against those damned perfect Deane brothers.

Someone who wants more than Lacy will ever give…
