Kari is the shoulder everyone in town loves to cry on and Lance was no exception. The last time Mister tall blonde and handsome was in town the single dad got sloppy drunk and confessed all his sins concerning the opposite sex.

Then he puked on her floor.

Now he's back in town and back in her bar, but this time Lance isn't spilling his secrets...

He's trying to uncover hers.

Secrets Kari will do anything to protect. Secrets her family can't afford to have exposed.

Unfortunately Lance is a hard man to say no to.

****

Lance only came back to Greenlea to learn the truth.

And the truth he's seeking lies in the cool blue eyes of the only woman who ever listened to his problems without judgment.

But Kari seems different now, questioning his motives and pushing him in ways no one ever has.

For the first time in his life a woman isn't looking at him with lust in her eyes.

Only suspicion.

Suspicion he deserves.

Because Lance has a secret too.
