Something Sweeter
Sweet Texas Series #3
By: Candis Terry
The men in Texas are hard to resist . . . Seattle event planner Allison Lane is an expert at delivering the perfect wedding—even if she might not exactly believe in the whole "'til death do us part" thing. When her father decides to tie the knot with a woman he barely knows, Allison heads to Sweet,
Texas, to make sure his new honey is the real deal. What she didn't expect to find at the local honky-tonk was a sexy Southern man as bent on charming her pants off as he is on blowing her "true love doesn't exist" theory all to hell. And they always promise . . .
Veterinarian, former Marine, and Sweet's favorite playboy Jesse Wilder takes one look at Allison and knows she's a handful of trouble he can't deny. But even after a sizzling kiss and obvious mutual attraction, it seems Allison has no such problem. When Jesse uncovers her sweet side, can he crush his playboy image, melt her cynical heart, and change her mind about taking a trip down the aisle?

“Darlin’ …” His
Texas drawl came out deep, smooth, and sexy as he propped his arm on the seat
behind her and leaned in. “You can deny it till the cows come home, but you are
as hot for me as I am for you.”
She opened her
mouth to protest, then clamped it shut because she’d never been a liar.
“But let’s get one
thing straight between us besides the obvious,” he continued. “It’s not going
to happen.”
“I know,” she said,
leaning away just so she wasn’t tempted to close her eyes and play a game of
Pin the Lips on the Hot Guy.
“Do you?” His head
tilted just a smidge, and a silky strand of hair slipped from that loose
ponytail. His gaze never left hers as he tucked it behind his ear. “Because,
darlin’, you aren’t just sending signals, you are skyrocketing them.”
“I’m tempted to
laugh at your audacity to believe I’d just jump into bed with you. I’m not a
jumper. Although that’s what I’m sure you’re used to with these small-town
girls.”
“Small-town girls
are no different than big-city girls. They all want the same thing; just some
of them go about it differently. Some are more open. And some are just …
uptight.”
Before she could
snap out a comeback, he closed the truck door.
When he reappeared
in the driver’s seat, she planned to keep her lips zipped, get the evening over
with, and refuse to rise further to any bait he might dangle. She tightened the
lock on her folded arms and gave an imaginary so there nod.
“I’m not uptight,”
she said. Geez. What was with the mouth’s not listening to the brain?
“Uh-huh,” was all
he said as he turned the key in the ignition and pulled away from her father’s
house. Two seconds later, he broke the mental breather she’d been allowed and
said, “But you are hot for me.”
Candis Terry was born and raised near the sunny beaches of Southern California and now makes her home on an Idaho farm. She’s experienced life in such diverse ways as working in a Hollywood recording studio to chasing down wayward steers. Only one thing has remained the same: her passion for writing stories about relationships, the push and pull in the search for love, and the security one finds in their own happily ever after.
