Combust

Summer
Fresh from a divorce that's left me emotionally bankrupt, I moved in with my dad to help him recover after surgery.
Simple, right?
Wrong.
Because the universe is an overachiever, my ex pops up, demanding half of an inheritance that has nothing to do with him.
And adding to the drama, my dad's grumpy contractor keeps walking in on me at the worst possible times.
Like when I'm naked.
In the shower.
Not thinking about him.
Maverick Hansen is broody, growly, and allergic to relationships. Basically, my exact type.
Which is why I need to steer clear.

Too bad my heart-and my traitorous hormones-didn't get the memo.

Second chances? There's no such thing.
After my wife died, I made peace with the fact that love wasn't in the cards. I have my work, my family, my dog, and an unwavering ability to avoid emotional attachments.
Then Summer Winston crashes into my life with her big eyes, bigger attitude, and tempting me to want more.
She's sunshine and starting over.
I'm rain clouds and regret.

Sometimes the hardest battle is against yourself, and now, the one thing I never knew I needed is the only thing I want.

COMBUST is a steamy standalone contemporary romance in the Southern Sparks series with a feisty heroine striving to rebuild her life and a grumpy Alpha male struggling between his protective instincts and his desire for distance.
