She's more spice than sugar...and he has a taste for heat. Whispering Cove, Book 5 Tabatha Taylor has mooned over her brother's best friend since childhood. For years she's been chipping away at his cool façade, using the generous, all-grown-up assets God gave her to her advantage. Finally she has a chance to work close to him on a project for the Fall Festival. Going nose to nose with him will prove her ideas have merit, even if she doesn't have a degree. But she learns the cost to her heart could be bigger than she anticipated. Tabby's dark beauty definitely sets architect Reece McGrath's pulse racing, but she's an itch better left unscratched. The attraction that flares between them is hot and undeniable, but getting close means risking a friendship he values and a lifestyle he cherishes. Crossing that boundary isn't worth the price he'd have to pay. With one of the grandfathers of Whispering Cove pinpointing them in another matchmaking scheme, though, they find themselves inching closer to that line. And closer... Warning: This book gives new meaning to getting nailed. Nothing beats a man with a variety of tools at his disposal and a woman who is bold enough to take him on.
