She’s playing it safe…
He’s anything but!
Famous race car driver Declan Cartwright is only in Butterfly Harbor to recuperate from a devastating crash. But when food truck operator Alethea Costas literally falls into his arms, he realizes the sleepy seaside town has more to offer than he imagined. Alethea is drawn to the charming daredevil despite her cautious nature. Can he show her that taking a chance on life—and love—is worth the risk?

Excerpt
Declan set the book down on the counter, faced Alethea, who he had no doubt had something to say about both his plans and his impulsiveness. Sure enough, the disbelief on her face had every hackle rising inside him.
The second he opened his mouth, something sharp stabbed him in the back of his calf. What the…he didn’t want any new pains! He let out a strangled, rather pathetic groan.
“What’s wrong?” Alethea demanded as he reached back and down.
When he encountered something furry, soft and moving he nearly jumped out of his shoes. The tiny stabbings made their way up the back of his jeans, into the fabric of his shirt until the kitten he’d met earlier settled on his shoulder.
“Percy.” Sebastian sighed and walked around the counter, reaching for the cat. “I’m so sorry. He’s usually pretty skittish which is why I let him wander. I want him to get used to people. But not like that.”Sebastian continued to hold out his hands for the tiny fur ball. “Come on, little guy. Let’s discuss boundaries and personal space.”
Percy’s claws came out to cling to Declan’s shoulder. He mewed and dug his claws in deeper.
“Ow. Ow. Okay, how does something so little hurt so much?” He waved Sebastian off and reached up to gently grasp the cat, who released his hold the second Declan touched him. Declan pulled the cat down and held him up to his face, nose to nose. “You are too curious for your own good.”
