Hot and Irresistible
In a city of history, mystery, and more than a few
ghosts, four best friends who have never fit in anywhere
except with each other are about to get close—and closer
still—to four sexy bachelors with alluring secrets of
their own…
SOUTHERN COMFORT, SAVANNAH STYLE...
Bebe Fitzpatrick knows how to take care of herself until
she stumbles into the arms of a damn sexy Yankee who’s
gunning for Savannah’s favorite shady entrepreneur...
Detective Donovan McCabe is as popular as General
Grant.What he needs is a better game plan.What he gets
is a southern wildcat who makes his toes curl...

“Don’t you dare go feeling sorry for me, Donovan McCabe,
I sure as hell don’t need a pity party.” Her gaze met
his and she braced herself for the Oh, you poor thing
look but instead Donovan bent his head and kissed her.
She started to protest but her lips were busy and
suddenly her tongue was too and then her arms got into
the act. This was all wrong on every level except
one...Donovan McCabe felt so darn good when she was
feeling crappy as hell.
How many times had stepmother Dara struck and no one had
been there? But here and now on this beautiful spring
morning in Savannah, there was Donovan McCabe and that
he was a damn Yankee didn’t seem to matter all that much
at the moment. She breathed, a sense of peace she’d
never known before filling her up like a glass long
empty. She leaned into him and took one more kiss, just
a little with a tiny nibble of his bottom lip to chase
away the lingering chill of Dara, then Bebe stepped
back. Every cell in her body...except the two rational
cells still functioning in her brain... insisted she was
the most stupid woman on planet Earth for not staying
locked in his arms.
“What was that all about?” The question was as much for
her as him because she didn’t know what to think about
the effect he had on her.
“You look like a woman who needed a hug and the kiss
part just snuck in.” His voice was steady but there was
an unsure spark in his brown eyes that said he didn’t
just go around kissing every woman who may have the
need. But she didn’t want him to be nice and she wished
like hell he hadn’t seen Dara. It was Bebe’s private
life, the part she kept tucked away as best she could. A
crappy childhood did not transfer into a crappy life.
“Are you playing me, McCabe? Softening me up so I’ll
help you on this case? Well, I won’t, I have a
friendship with an old friend to protect and I can
handle Dara on my own.”
“How about I look the other way and you just shoot her.”
Bebe broke into a laugh and today she didn’t think she’d
be laughing about anything. “I’ll lend you my gun,” he
continued, looking perfectly serious. “Or at least blast
the bitch verbally. I’ve seen you in action you’re a
hellcat when riled. Why not now?”
If he hadn’t offered his gun she would have told Donovan
to butt out but he did offer and he’d kissed her when
she needed it and she wasn’t in the habit of needing
much. |
