SOMETIMES WRONG IS OH-SO-RIGHT
After a wrenching loss, Ben
McDaniel tried to escape his grief by working in dangerous, war-torn places
like Africa and the Middle East. Now he's back in his hometown and face-to-face
with Aubrey Wellington, the hot-as-hell woman who is trouble with a capital T.
Family and friends insist she's not the one to ease his pain, but Aubrey sparks
an intense desire that gives Ben hope for the future.
Determined to right the wrongs of
her past, Aubrey is working hard to make amends. But by far, the toughest
challenge to her plan is sexy, brooding Ben - even though he has absolutely no
idea what she's done . . .
Can this unlikely couple defy the
odds and win over the little town of Lucky Harbor?

Excerpt from Once in a Lifetime:
Ben McDaniel slowly stood up from his barstool, dripping vodka from his hair, eyelashes, nose… He was six feet plus of hard muscles and brute strength on a body that didn’t carry a single extra ounce of fat on him. For the past five years, he’d been in and out of a variety of Third World countries designing and building water systems with the Army Corp of Engineers. His last venture had been for the Department of Defense in Iraq, which Aubrey only knew because Lucky Harbor’s Facebook page was good as gospel.
He swiped his face with his arm, deceptively chill and laid-back.
In truth, he was about as badass as they came.
Aubrey should know, she’d seen him in action. But she managed to meet his gaze. Cool, casual even. One had to be with Ben, the man could spot a weakness a mile away. “I’m sorry,” she said.
“Are you?”
She felt herself flush. He’d always seemed to see right through her. And she was pretty sure he’d never cared for her. He had good reason for that, she reminded herself. He just didn’t know the half of it. “Yes, I am sorry,” she said. Her heart was pounding so loudly she was surprised she could hear herself speak. “Are you okay?”
He ran his fingers through a sexy disorder of sun-streaked brown hair. His eyes were the same color, light milk chocolate marbled with gold caramel. It was hard to make such a warm-colored gaze seem hard, but Ben managed it with no effort at all. “Need to work on your aim,” he said.
