Once Burned

Lindsay Miller and Henry Hammond aren't looking for love, but a pact to have a little fun together may turn into something a lot bigger... and last a lot longer than her vacation. Lindsay has sworn off men until her son is old enough not to be hurt by them, but on a kid-free vacation to see her best friend married off, she has a chance to remember that she's a woman with needs and not only a struggling single mother. A casual fling with a willing cowboy might be just what she needs, and Henry fits that description. Devastated after learning that his son isn't his, Henry is in no mood to entertain ideas about starting a new relationship, but when Lindsay boldly introduces herself, he's intrigued. She's fiercely independent but also vulnerable and burned-out from dating the wrong men. A mutual agreement for a one-night stand turns into a week-long adventure, and even after Lindsay returns home to Washington, Henry can't stop thinking about her. This could be the real deal, but how can he prove that she and her son are more than a rebound family for him when they're seven hundred miles away?
