No, Joe didn’t call after the kiss. He’s the fun
time guy, not the forever guy. And Kylie, after all she’s been through,
deserves a good man who will stay. But everything about Kylie makes it damned
hard to focus, and though his brain knows what he has to do, his heart isn’t
getting the memo.

Excerpt Below
EXCERPT :
Kylie Masters
watched him walk into her shop like he owned it while simultaneously pretending
not to notice him. A tricky balancing act that she’d gotten good at. Problem
was, like it or not, her attention was caught and captured by the six foot,
leanly muscled, scowling guy now standing directly in front of her, hands
shoved in his pockets, body language clearly set to Frustrated Male.
She sighed,
gave up the ridiculous pretense of being engrossed by her phone, and met his
gaze. She was supposed to smile and ask how she could help him. That’s what
they all did when it was their turn to work the front counter at Reclaimed
Woods. They were to show potential clients their custom made goods when what
they really wanted was to be in the back workshop on their own, individual
projects. Kylie’s specialty was dining room sets, which meant she wore a thick
apron and goggles to protect herself and was perpetually covered in sawdust.
And she did
mean covered in sawdust. Wood flakes
dusted her hair, stuck to her exposed arms, and if she’d been wearing any
makeup today, they’d have been stuck to her face as well. In short, she was not
looking how she wanted to be looking while facing this man again. Not even
close. “Joe,” she said in careful greeting.
He gave her
a single head nod.
Okay, so he
wasn’t going to talk first. Fine. She’d be the grownup today. “What an I do for
you?” she asked, fairly certain he wasn’t here to shop for furniture. He wasn’t
exactly the domesticated type.
Joe ran a
hand through his hair so that the military short, dark silky strands stood
straight up. He wore a black t-shirt stretched over broad shoulders, loose over
tight abs, untucked over cargos that emphasized his mile-long legs. He was
built like the soldier he’d been not too long ago, as if keeping fit was his
job – which given what he did for a living, it absolutely was. He shoved his
mirrored sunglasses to the top of his head, revealing ice blue eyes that could
be hard as stone when working but she knew that they could also soften when he
was amused, aroused, or having fun. He was none of those three things at the
moment.
