No strings attached is pretty much Lucky McCord's calling card in this reader favourite from USA TODAY bestselling author Delores Fossen

Every family needs its black sheep, and Austin "Lucky" McCord is happy to oblige. The bad-boy bull rider lives fast and loose until his business partner leaves him an unexpected bequest. Suddenly Lucky is sharing custody of two children with Cassie Weatherall, one of the few homegrown women he hasn't bedded. And not from lack of trying...

Cassie fled her messy past to become a celebrity therapist in LA. So why does it feel so right to come back and share parenting duties - and chrome-melting kisses - with a man she's striven to avoid? Loving Lucky always seemed like a sure bet for heartache. But for this perfectly imperfect family, Cassie might just gamble with everything she's got.
