Once his hands touched her body, she knew he was playing for keeps…

Tracked down in a steamy sauna, Tucker Morgan couldn’t say no to the nearly naked lady who’d been his mothers best friend, but he couldn’t let luscious Lainey Cooper distract him from his chore: to find out what kind of shady business was going on at Sunset Shores. Aunt Lillian had vowed he’d learn everyone’s secrets while giving massages, but Tucker sensed the pretty rebel Lainey knew more than she was telling! With his charm and caresses, could he discover the truth?

Writing with spicy wit and delectable humor, Donna Kauffman delivers a sparkling tale of equal parts mystery and matchmaking! A lady with talent for trouble was his favorite brand of temptation, but would the “undercover” investigation he’d promised to provide trap a sweet seductress into confessing what shadowed her soul?
