Renegade — Kaitlyn Rice

He's the bad boy who's no longer off-limits She's the good girl who needs a safe man

Could it be the sea-green bandanna knotted in his blond hair? Or maybe it's the quicksilver eyes that sparkle with laughter before they deepen to hurricane-gray.

With all her systems on high alert, and caring for her young daughter uppermost in her mind, she vows to keep her distance.

That was the plan -- until Tracy's boss assigns her to help Riley get his fledgling business under way. Tracy soon finds that the new business isn't the only thing Riley -- or she, for that matter -- wants to get going.
