Tricia Carter loves teaching, but as a high school teacher, her newest student puzzles her.
When she calls home to discuss her concerns, she learns the child lives with a much older brother.
She also discovers he’s her next door neighbor and dangerous.
Complete with tattoos, piercings and lots of leather, he’s everything Tricia isn’t interested in.
She knows all about the menacing-man types and she won’t be walking into the darkness again.
She’s smarter than that.
Leon Ramirez never learns.
Case in point is the woman next door.
When his sister has issues in school, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble himself. Addicted to dangerous situations in his formative years, this former gang member just wants to live a simple life, work on cars, and drink his beer in peace.
His vivacious, witty and tempting neighbor screams off limits, and he won’t dismiss the signs. He’s not that dumb.
When you don’t heed the signs, the heart reads between the lines.
Author note: A hot mechanic who quotes Shakespeare and the teacher next door leads to small-town suspense, swoon-worthy sexy time, and a second chance at love.

Review:
4 stars
This one started off slow for me, but once it picked up I couldn't put it down. I really liked Tricia. Life could have dulled her light,but she shines so bright. She has such a big kind heart. The Ramirez family could use some of the kindness. It warmed my heart when she keeps helping them in small and big ways. It's that kindness that will forever impact the Ramirez siblings. Leon is looking for a fresh start and to keep is past behind him. His protectiveness shines bright when it comes to Tricia. She brings out the great guy within him to the surface. That is one of my favorite things in this book. I also enjoyed seeing a few familiar faces and see how their HEA is going. This book has plenty of heart, but also brings the heat. The epilogue was the perfect touch ad left me one satisfied reader!

I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination.
To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet).
My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males.
I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.
