Wild at Heart — Erika Chase

His chest heaved under my palm. I could feel the racing strength of his heart, like a locomotive engine pumping steam. I moved closer until my face was right there, right in front of his. We were close enough to feel each other's breath, close enough to kiss.
He leaned forward until his lips were almost brushing mine. My body felt like it was drifting into a bayou wind, like the strength of my limbs was running away to water.
He whispered now, his words hushed
“Cher, we got to work together here. Make this thing happen right. Your aunt, she'd want that.”
I sighed, letting the disappointment rush out of me. For a moment, I'd thought he was going to…

Freshly back to the city that no longer feels like home, Cat Lee is determined to get back on her feet, even if her heart is still torn between Boston and the bayou. But one phone call changes everything, and before she knows it, life is dragging her right back to the tiny town of Backflats in deepest Louisiana.

And that means Luke Dane, the Cajun rocker who turns her inside out with a single glance, won't be too far away. And neither Cat nor Luke knows how to tamp down the overwhelming passion that flares when they're in the same room... or how to keep from fighting like hell at the same time.

But fate has something in store that will keep the two of them tied together, even as Cat struggles to overcome the scars of the past and find her own happiness. She might just have a future with Luke, and in Louisiana - if she can work out just what it is she wants, and how to finally let someone past her defenses...
