MacNamara's Lady — N.J. Walters

Missy Sinclair knows what she wants out of life -- a secure job, a fine home, financial independence and, eventually, a man to share it with. That man will have class and style, share her goals and tastes and like fine wine and classical music. Why then is she so attracted to T. S. MacNamara who is the complete opposite?

T. S. makes no apologies to anyone for his life. He's worked hard to make his general contracting business a success. He likes beer and football. He's not looking for anything permanent. Problem is, he can't stop wanting Missy.

When he rescues Missy from a violent mugging the seething physical attraction that's been shimmering between them for months finally explodes. Classy and rough, dark and light, educated and blue-collar. Opposites attract -- at least in the bedroom. But they both have secrets that won't stay buried and they threaten to drive them apart unless they're both willing to face their pasts.
