One Kiss
For twelve years Tristyn Garrett ignored the near kiss with family friend and current boss Josh Slater...until the confirmed bachelor shows up with three adorable little girls in his arms. Making him simply irresistible...
Two Months
But resist she must, especially when she’s trapped for the summer in an RV on the car-racing circuit with the girls and the one man she can’t allow herself to have. Because he broke her heart once—she won’t let him do it again!
Three Kids
Caring for his nieces on the road, Josh needs Tristyn. But the kiss that got away looms large in the small space...till Josh devises a plan: kiss her again and get it out of his system. With three little chaperones, what can possibly happen?
The inadvertent contact made him groan.
Tristyn backed up. “You’re in my space.” When Josh didn’t step away, she said, “Could you please get out of my space?”
“I could...” Instead, he stepped forward, breaching the distance between them.
“Twelve years,” he murmured as he caught her chin in his hand. “It’s a long time to wonder, don’t you think?”
“I guess that depends on what you’re wondering.” Her tone was neutral but he caught her breathlessness.
“The same thing you are.”
She was trembling. Not with fear, she realized. With desire. But going down that path with Josh now would be dangerous. Still, she played along.
“And what is that?” she asked.
He didn’t say the words. He simply brushed her lips with his.
And with that kiss, any thought of resistance fizzled away. In that moment there was only Josh. And the intoxicating sensation of his kiss.
Twelve years ago she would’ve given anything to experience this. Twelve years ago she’d been totally unprepared for this. Even now, she wasn’t sure what to do with the desire that pulsed through her veins.
All she knew was that if she touched him now, she wouldn’t be able to stop.

Tristyn Garrett didn’t get paid to keep tabs on Josh Slater.
Though her responsibilities at Garrett/Slater Racing seemed ever growing and changing, that wasn’t one of them. So when Dave Barkov came into the building for his nine-thirty meeting with her too-sexy-for-his-own-good boss, she buzzed Josh’s office. As a co-owner of the race team, Josh didn’t always keep regular hours, but he was always there when he needed to be.
So why wasn’t he there now?
“Excuse me for a minute,” she said to Mr. Barkov, and made her way down the hall to Josh’s office. The door was open, but the lights were off and the chair behind his desk was empty. His computer,
