A Marriage-Minded Man — Karen Templeton

"HONEY, YOU DON'T REALLY WANT THIS."

But Tess Montoya knew exactly what she wanted -- a hot, no-strings-attached night with town bad boy Eli Garrett, her old high school boyfriend. After all, when you're being stressed by your unreliable ex, why not blow off steam with the one man who knows you best? Besides, there was no way she was ever going to let sexy Eli back in her heart....

Out of all the mistakes Eli made growing up, walking away from Tess was the one he regretted most. But the feisty, take-care-of-business woman she'd become -- and the lonely children she was struggling to raise -- was making the idea of home and family irresistible. And in spite of everything against them, Eli swore he'd do whatever Tess wanted -- except let her get away again.
