Book Description:
As a hardworking, hard-partying firefighter, Hayden Walker values his career and his freedom. But as the eldest son of a U.S. senator, he agreed long ago to follow in his father’s footsteps and run for office, and that means settling down and marrying the picture-perfect wife. Hayden just isn’t ready for that sort of commitment . . . not with women like beautiful, curvy Saylor Dean—the naughty bridesmaid he recognizes the morning after his buddy’s wedding—tempting Hayden to stay single forever.
The unwanted love child of a well-known politician, Saylor has always felt isolated and alone, her only solace the animal shelter she runs in Forrestville. Then she meets Hayden at her best friend’s wedding. During their impulsive and unforgettable night together, Saylor feels desired like never before—only to wake up and find that Hayden doesn’t remember his drunken proposal, or their hasty marriage, or her. But when the truth comes out, Saylor finds it’s a lot harder to fall out of love than in love.
**Can be read as a stand alone.

Excerpt
HAYDEN
Pushing
out of bed, I go in search of coffee and pain reliever. Hunter’s grandmother,
Mrs. Castillo, invited the entire wedding party stay at her house, which turns
out to be a huge hacienda on the outskirts of the city. I can’t remember what
her family is into, but based on what I’ve seen so far, it’s very lucrative.
Yawning,
I scratch my chest and make a pit stop at the bathroom before heading down
another hallway, which leads me straight into the kitchen. The smell of coffee
fills the air and I want to kiss the pot brewing near the stove.
Even
if I think the shit is vile.
There’s
a woman sitting at the table. From my vantage point, I can see legs, an
oversized shirt . . . and chocolate brown hair pulled into a messy bun, like
she spent the night in someone’s bed.
The lucky bastard.
Not
bad view at all.
“Good
morning.” I step past her, heading straight to the coffee. “Do I have you to
thank for making this?”
“No.”
Her voice sounds vaguely familiar, but for the life of me, I can’t place it.
“It was already brewing when I got here.”
Grabbing
the pot of coffee and a mug, I lean against the counter and pour a cup so that
I can get a good look at her. A flash of pink catches my eye first. She’s
wearing flowers in her hair. Her chin tips up slightly, revealing a full, pink
mouth, high cheekbones, and glasses that frame a pair of dark brown eyes.
I’ve
always been a sucker for brown eyes. One of the bridesmaids at the wedding had
eyes like that, glasses too.
“I
know you.” I snap my fingers. “You’re the naughty bridesmaid, Sammy.”
“It’s
Saylor.” Her head tilts to one side, then she pushes those sexy-as-fuck black
glasses back up on her nose. “Saylor Dean.”
“Got
it.” I grin sheepishly at her. “Sorry, I’m not my usual self.”
Her
black lashes flicker down, then back up. “You don’t seem any different to me.”
I
frown. “Is that an insult?”
“Do
you think how you normally act is offensive?” She sips daintily from her mug.
“Depends
on who you ask. Need a refill?”
She
shakes her head. “Not drinking.”
I
look pointedly at her cup. “You sure about that?”
“Positive.”
This she says right before taking another sip.
Maybe
she’s just as hung over as am I? “Mind if I join you?” I flash her the infamous
Walker smile, the same one my dad, the senator from the great state of North
Carolina, uses in every commercial and on every campaign stop.
Unfortunately,
I’ve inherited that smile.
Fortunately,
it works about ninety five percent of the time. Then again, I’m not using my
charms to get votes; I'm using it to convince a sexy woman to let me sit with
her.
“Why
would I mind?” she asks.
“I
was being polite.”
Her
dark gaze runs over me and my cock stirs. “No you weren’t.”
Something
tingles at the back of my brain, but I ignore it. It’s not like I have
Spidey-sense. “What was I being then?”
“Flirtatious.”
“You
got me there.”
A small smile ghosts her lips. “You’re also nude.”
