A novel by Nichole Ruschelle
Welcome back to Rose Valley. This is the third book in this spicy small town romance. This is an interconnected standalone, you do not have to read the other books to read this one.
Mateo:
When the new girl in town walks into my gym, I’m instantly drawn to her. I should stay away from her, she’s too young for me.
I’m just a grumpy man trying to keep my demons at bay. Everything changes when she asks me to teach her self-defense.
When I look into her eyes all I can see is pain and it triggers every protective feeling within me.
Cecilia:
After leaving my own small town in Texas to escape a bad decision, I find myself in Rose Valley.
Even though life has been nothing but easy, I try hard to look on the bright side of things.
Some people think that makes me an easy target. But what they don’t know is I will do anything in my power to protect my son and that includes asking the local grumpy gym owner to teach me how to defend myself.
What I don’t expect is the need to defend my heart before he takes it.
