A confirmed bachelor, Ben Badwin has had his share of women, and he likes them as sexy, wild, and uninhibited as his desires. Nothing at all like the brash, dirt-covered, wholesomely cute woman who just strutted into his diner. But something about Sierra Murphy's independent attitude makes Ben fantasies run wild. He'd love to dazzle her with his prized sensual skills. . .to make her want him as badly as he suddenly wants her. . .

Sierra doesn't need a man in her life, not even one as sinfully tempting as Ben. But the more she keeps her distance, the more Ben wants her. And the more Ben wants her, the harder it is for Sierra to steer clear of his teasing touches and enticing eyes. To get him into her bed--and out of her system--Sierra makes him a proposition: she'll sleep with him, but for one night only. Now, it's up to Ben to turn one night of pure ecstasy into a lifetime of passion. . .

". . .an interesting mix of ecstatic (and lovingly described) sex, and reluctant women overcoming past hurts with persistent men determined to help (and bed) them."--Booklist
