Product Description

Everybody in Fallon's Landing remembers Quaid O'Fallon as the street-tough kid adopted by the tight-knit clan and made into one of their own. Quaid's spent the last few years working in the Coast Guard Search and Rescue in Alaska, but he's still got a hint of danger humming under the surface - and a heart fiercely loyal to the man who saved him, Rory O'Fallon. That's why he had to come back home. What he doesn't expect is to run into the only person who's ever cracked his armour, Cynthia James. His attraction to the single mom has lasted years even though they're worlds apart. She loves New York; he loves the River. She's "Vogue"; he's "Field & Stream". She designs beautiful clothes; his job is fishing people out of dangerous waters. He may be a rough-and-tumble river man, but he's not about to let a second chance at his dream woman get away...Cynthia came home to Fallon's Landing in defeat after her smooth-talking husband ran her clothing business into the ground and left her with their son to raise. The last thing she needs is another man in her life, no matter how incredibly tempting he is. But Quaid's always been a fascination to her. She's wondered what those strong arms would feel like wrapped around her, or what ways a man that bold might have of pleasing a woman. He's all wrong for her, but once she shuts out the rest of the world and tastes Quaid's hungry kisses, all she can think about is just how right he feels.

From Booklist
After 40-year-old Cynthia Landon's lowlife husband drives her to bankruptcy, she moves from Manhattan, where she'd had a successful clothing-design business, to O'Fallon's Landing, Tennessee, where she grew up. The only male she still trusts is her genius eight-year-old son, Lawrence. Local bad-boy Quaid O'Fallon, home from the Coast Guard, has had a thing for Cynthia since he was a teenager. At first, Cynthia doesn't take him seriously. After all, he's seven years younger than she is. But Quaid is no quitter, and soon he has Lawrence wanting him for a father and Cynthia wanting him, period. Castell's contemporary romance is filled with quirky characters, from the nuns with the black bandanas to the ghost of Ulysses S. Grant. And there's lots of action involving secondary characters. Fans of Lori Foster will like the buzz and level of sensuality in this sequel to Castell's The Way U Look Tonight (2006). Shelley Mosley
