Hardwired for all kinds of action... Take Me, Lover, Book 2 When Anne Parker yanks open her front door, she's armed and ready to aim cold fury at her ex. Instead, she finds herself staring up at Pete Crenshaw, a man as disarming as he is dangerous to her battered defenses. A man whose touch sends her I-remember-sex hormones soaring into the red zone. Those hormones sure have picked a hell of a time to surge, though--with New Year's around the corner and the ex suddenly making noises about worming his way back into her life. Pete's been biding his time. More accurately, lying in wait for precisely the right moment to take their relationship from friends to lovers. He's aware of Anne's trust issues, but it's time to make a move before she has a chance to do what she does best--overthink it. Her ex isn't just back to make another play, though. He's after secrets Pete and his partner hide under the cover of their garage business. Pete finds his heart caught between Anne's safety and the secrets he's sworn to keep--unless he can find a way to preserve both...
