When We Take a Chance — Stephanie Rowe

All's fair in love and tacos. Except, of course, when the tacos are made by an irritatingly attractive ex-con fighting for redemption.Keira Vogel is intentionally single, unintentionally broke, and on the rise. Yes, she's a little stuck, but the plucky entrepreneur has plans...until her not-so-pretty past finds her. Now, she's in danger, her business is at risk, and the only one who can help her is Roman Townsend, the ex-con, taco-trunk-owning brother of her best friend. Roman Townsend knows he brings a load of trouble with him. He knows he doesn't deserve a second chance. And he isn't about to get entangled with his sister's classy, upscale bestie, no matter how compelling he finds her. But when Keira needs a little bodyguarding help, it's Roman's chance to be the man he's never been. But to be who he wants to be, he has to keep his hands off the sassy, irreverent Keira. But the closer they get, the more he realizes she might be everything he's ever wanted...and never thought to dream of. Keira's been thoroughly burned by love, and this bodyguarding situation is business only. But there's something about this gregarious, muscled taco genius that makes her want to heal his shadows...the same shadows that almost ruined her before. Worth the risk? No. Dangerously tempting?
