Paradise Cafe — Adrienne Staff

Abby Clarke knew she was going to drown in the river rapids after falling out of her raft! Terrified, soaking wet and desperate, she was suddenly pulled from the water and carried up the steep canyon to safety by a ruggedly handsome outdoorsman whose deep gray eyes made her tremble with excitement. Jack Gallagher was a heartstopper who liked a challenge, a man of few words and fast moves--especially when reaching for the lady whom destiny had tossed in his path! Abby didn't believe in taking chances, but Jack was a hard man to walk away from... and the sweet, wild passion of his lips made her long to forget about being safe, and dare to take a chance for once. After he'd followed her home, she couldn't resist the dizzying pleasure he promised, but she couldn't settle for only moments of love. Shed always worked for tomorrow, put her family first--now could Jack teach her that today was all they had for sure--and that his home was at the center of her heart?
