But that was a lifetime ago… At twenty-seven, he’s now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price… They’re adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as her top secret enchilada sauce, and then some…”
Fearless In Love by Bella Andre & Jennifer Skully — New Release!!

She has too many responsibilities to fool around, especially now that she has custody of [her sister]. Sure, she’d love to find a devoted partner. But she won’t jeopardize her sister’s happiness on a love-’em-and-leave-’em type of guy like him… so it’s up to him to prove her wrong.
