Tequila and Tingles — Keri Ford

Love doesn't hang around in the shallow end. You have to dive deep for it.

Tequila shots 1, Beth Revlin 0. No respectable single mom wakes up in a stranger's hotel room with no memory of what happened the night before. When Beth does just that, she willingly takes the walk-more like a sprint-of shame, rather than face her humiliation. Then Mr. One Night Stand turns out to be Mr. New Swim Coach to her five-year-old daughter. Holding her head high and pretending nothing happened seems like a good plan. Olympic gold medalist Jason Johnson plans to stay in Turtle Pine just long enough to recharge his batteries. But Beth and her painfully shy little girl touch something in the depths of his soul. Besides, he needs to return Beth's shoes without inciting small-town gossip-and tell her the truth about that night. Beth can't deny she's attracted, but she's not just guarding her own heart. She's guarding her children's hearts as well. If Jason captures them only to walk away, the pain he'll leave in his wake could be more than she can handle.

Warning: Contains an Olympic swimmer who's got his strokes down to a science, and a single mom who's seriously considering jumping into the deep end.
