Guarding Her Heart — Jules Court

Six months ago, Tiffany Donnelly, failed musician turned diner waitress, was left just shy of the altar when her groom ran off with a bridesmaid. Now, verbally sparring with sexy Coast Guard rescue swimmer Travis Green is one of her few pleasures. In his dark eyes, there's no pity for poor, jilted Tiffany. Nevertheless, he's in her "look but don't touch" category. Travis Green, loud-mouthed Southern boy of mixed Hawaiian, Japanese, and white heritage, is usually the outsider. But now, he's got a group of friends that just happens to contain Tiffany, the woman he can't keep his dirty thoughts off of. However, innocent flirting is where he draws the line. When Tiffany's ex-bridesmaid begs Tiffany to attend her wedding- to Tiffany's ex-groom, Tiffany's pride gets the best of her. Suddenly, she's introducing Travis as her new boyfriend. During their weekend posing as a couple, the lines between fantasy and reality blur. Can passion once unleashed be contained?
