After losing his wife to her wild ways at a young age,
Tristan moved on to follow a higher calling. He finds comfort in helping others

temptation blows into town.
She wants to corrupt

But
will they end up destroying each other?
Taming Riley becomes an obsession for Tristan. With his

to keep both? It only takes a dash of desire to ignite a flame when this savior
and sinner collide. But this is one inferno that could end up destroying them
both.

EXCERPT
The chain rattled. “Riley,
Brother Daniels’ truck is out front. Have you…” Tristan jumped away from Riley
as Billy burst onto the scene. The woman froze, as she caught sight of him
standing in the center of Riley’s bedroom. No doubt, he was also looking guilty
as sin…and turned on. He definitely was that. “Oh. There you are.”
“Riley fell,” he said
without giving her a chance to question what she’d—no doubt—witnessed coming
through the door.
A loving expression touched
her features as she eyed them both. “I’m not surprised. Poor girl. You wouldn’t
believe how many calls I got from West Anaheim ER, letting me know my baby had
broken another bone.” Billy’s voice hardened. “Especially, since my no-good
sister, Marty…”
“Billy, please?” Riley
said, cutting her off.
With a sheepish grin, Billy
blushed. “Sorry darling. Sometimes I forget.” Riley crossed the room, and gave
the older woman a quick hug. She toyed with Riley’s hair, tugging it over one
shoulder and sliding her hand down the locks. “Anyhow,” she said, turning her
attention back to Tristan. “My girl has a good job. She never would let me come
take care of her, since she could afford to hire someone to do it.” Flashing
Riley an exasperated look, she added, “This one has never needed anyone. Thank
goodness, since Marty…”
“Billy,” Riley said,
reeling her aunt in, once more.
“I’m sorry. It’s just with
it being your birthday and her doing what she did, I just.” Tearing up, Billy
covered her mouth. A sob still broke loose. Before anyone had time to react,
she walked out, closing the door behind her as she left. Riley stared
unblinking at the wood separating them from the rest of the world.
“Wow.” Tristan was baffled
by Riley’s obvious shock. As she turned wide eyes his way, her voice came out
in a horrified whisper. “She was crying. I’ve never seen Billy cry. That’s the
same woman who used to make me pick my own switch when I misbehaved.”
A chuckle rose in Tristan’s
throat. “I didn’t know it was your birthday.”
Riley motioned toward the
door, still seemingly floored. “She once beat a chicken to death with a shovel
after it chased me down the driveway. I was scarred for years.” Tristan’s
chuckle turned to a full-on laugh. “I’m being serious. She cooked him
afterward. I haven’t looked at a drumstick the same since.” Tristan swiped at
his eyes. “Happiness looks damn sexy on you.”
He glanced away,
uncomfortable with the change in topic. Happiness was one thing he knew little
about. “Being in your company seems to have that effect on me,” he said, half
hoping to fill the silence and half needing her to know the truth. “How old are
you today?” He asked, changing the subject.
“Twenty-eight. Why? Do you
intend to spank me?”
She sounded hopeful. There
were no safe topics where Riley was concerned.
