Just the Trouble I Needed

Sometimes a little trouble-and a lot of Louisiana heat-can help you find your way...

Kate McDonnell wants her chaotic life to just slow down for a minute. So when her friend offers to let her house-sit for a week in her quiet home in the middle of nowhere, her answer is a definite yes. She's expecting a week all to herself-but when sexy sheriff Andre Dufresne stops by, her vacation takes a turn she didn't expect.

The last time Kate and Andre met-well, it was a disaster.

Kate's not looking for love-she's still reeling from the worst breakup ever, and Bayou Sabine is just a temporary refuge. But when Andre turns on the charm, she wonders: would a light-hearted fling really be so bad?

Andre never forgot Kate, and he's not into flings. She sparked a fire in him that he thought was long gone, and he's not about to let her slip away again. So if he needs to take his time with her, that's just fine.

Soon Kate feels herself falling hard, and makes a mistake that could ruin everything between them. She's running out of time-and to fix things with Andre, she'll have to do something she's never done before: trust someone else with her heart.

This standalone novella continues the steamy saga of the Bayou Sabine series. If you like plucky heroines, open-door romance and smokin' hot sheriffs, then welcome to Bayou Sabine!
