California - Present Day

Lacey Winslow has worked hard to be independent since her divorce, and she has no intention of losing herself to a man again.  Which is why she’s so determined to keep Chance Bodine at arm’s length.  From the bossy way he’s dealt with her so far, Lacey knows that Chance is a real threat to her independence.  If only he didn’t turn her on so much....

Chance has waited long enough for Lacey to be ready for him, and he’s about reached the end of his rope.  If she doesn’t come to him soon, he just may need that rope to tie her to him long enough to convince her that they belong together.  When he learns of an intruder at her home, Chance’s protective instincts kick in and he decides it’s time for Lacey to move to the ranch with him.  But will he be able to do this without ruining his chances of forever?

CHANCE OF A LIFETIME is an entertaining erotic tale.  Though bossy doesn’t even begin to describe Chance, it doesn’t take him long to realize that his behavior isn’t helping his cause: changing this behavior is another story.  Lacey is still gun-shy after her divorce, and since her ex-husband was a controlling man who often belittled her, she is even more wary of Chance.  While she finds him nearly irresistible, she’s worried about getting involved again.

Secondary characters include Chance’s brother, Clay, and his wife, Bobbie who’s story was told in CALIFORNIA COWBOY.  Also, the two police officers who respond to the trouble at Lacey’s, Mike and Greg, leave the door open to possible sequels.  Definitely earning its Red Hot! rating, check out CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.
