Why does Lilliana Hancock hate him? And why is she the only woman Alec Grayson can't stop thinking about? The taunts she hurls in his direction only heighten the buzzing sexual tension coursing between them. But it's her passion and loyalty that has him longing to kiss and make up.

Hancocks are known to hold a grudge, and Lilliana is no exception. Her current target is Alec Grayson. The man took her virginity in college and doesn't even remember the momentous event. While it's obvious Alec carries a burden of grief from his past, Lilliana can't find it in her heart to relish his pain. Instead, she fights the urge to soothe him in the most inappropriate of ways.

There's no avoiding one another in small town Falcon, Alabama. Lilliana's scheme to turn her family home into a B&B to fund her dream of being a respected Southern artist puts her at odds with the town's building inspector—Alec Grayson. Their paths are on a collision course that will either blow up their hearts or entangle them forever.

Warning: Contains a grumpy, tattooed hero, a free-spirited heroine, and a second chance at love in this sexy addition to the Sweet Home Alabama series.
