Healing Harts Series Bundle (Bks 1-3)
Bailey Hart has never felt like she measures up to her cousins at Heart Fire Ranch. It doesn’t help that her rocker attitude has made her a black sheep in her small town. So when her band gets their big break in Los Angeles, “Wild Hart” can’t run fast enough…If only there weren’t so many reasons to stay.
After a harrowing stint in the Oakland Police Department, sheriff’s deputy Chase McKee has returned home a hero, and yet he feels anything but. And when he finds out Bailey might be leaving for good, the feelings he’s always harbored for his best friend’s cousin just won’t stay hidden. He knows she wants to get the heck out of Dodge, but he’s hoping to show her where she really belongs—with him.
Will this Wild Hart turn her back on love, or will she realize her heart really belongs closer to home?

“Woman, you
could crush a man’s ego, talking like that. I knew you were feisty, but I
didn’t know you were heartless.” He winked at her, stepping up to grab the
cleaning supplies from her hand. When his fingers brushed over hers, he felt
the vibration of desire travel all the way to his toes.
“Then I
guess there’s a lot you don’t know about me.”
Like what your lips taste like, how
your eyes would darken with desire, or what it would be like to feel your
breasts pressed against my chest and feel your skin under my fingertips.
His mind
was busy filling in the blanks when her hand moved under his, sliding the
cleaning tote back onto the table. Her blue eyes were dark, and he wanted to
believe he was seeing the same hunger he knew was in his. Then she rolled her
eyes, pursing her lips, and moved away from him. His fingers burned where
they’d held hers only seconds before and turned cold where her warmth had just
been.
She reached
for the handle of the vacuum, rolling it toward the doorway. “You know, you
could wait for Jessie outside.”
He almost
laughed as she eyed him suspiciously. “What? Can’t trust yourself alone with
me?”
“Yes, of
course, that’s it.” She nodded, the mound of hair piled on her head bobbing
forward. It took every bit of self-control for him to keep from brushing back
the loose wisps that had fallen forward and were stuck against her cheek.
“There’s just something about a man in a dingy khaki shirt that makes a girl’s
heart beat fast. I think I’ll pass.”
“You
invited me to Julia’s for dinner, remember?”
“I was
joking.”
“I’m not so
sure.”
“Then it
must have been temporary insanity,” she offered.
He couldn’t
help but laugh, opening the door to the cabin. Gracie ran out into the yard
ahead of him. “I’ll have you know, there are plenty of women around here who’d
love to have dinner with me.” He smiled as she turned back to him, skepticism
clearly written on her face.
“Well, you
know what they say. We women have to kiss a few frogs to find Prince Charming,
so . . .”
Chase
arched his brows as a grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Bailey, are you
offering to kiss me?”
“I’d rather
kiss—”
“Ah-ah,” he
warned with a laugh. “You should be careful. With all the animals your cousins
have around here, whichever one you pick could probably be arranged.”
