It’s just a belated goodbye, right? No harm, no foul.
A FOOL FOR YOU
Foolproof Love #3
Katee Robert
Releasing Oct 3rd, 2016
Entangled: Brazen
It’s been
thirteen years since Hope Moore left Devil’s Falls, land of sexy cowboys and
bad memories. Back for the weekend, she has no intention of seeing the man she
never got over…or the two of them getting down and dirty. It’s just a belated
goodbye, right? No harm, no foul.
Until six weeks later, when her pregnancy test comes back positive…
Daniel Rodriguez hasn’t forgiven himself for how things went down with Hope all those years ago. He knows she’s better off without him, but when she shows up on his doorstep, panicking because she’s pregnant with his baby, he can’t help seeing it as a chance to make up for the past.
Too bad Hope has no intention of going along with his plans.

He turned to find Hope standing behind him. Again. “You
sure move quiet when you want to.” Especially for a woman with a bum leg. Not
that he could say as much without sounding like a jackass.
“You mean since I had my knee replaced.” Of course she
knew what he meant anyway. Apparently damn near reading his mind was one
annoying habit she hadn’t outgrown.
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to.” She leveraged herself down next to
him, the move not quiet as smooth as it’d been when she was eighteen.
Daniel almost cursed. He had to stop doing that.
Comparing her now to how she was then wasn’t fair to either of them. It was
another lifetime completely, and thinking about it was just fucking depressing.
“Hope—”
“Are you seeing anyone?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
He was so surprised by the question that he answered
honestly, “Why the fuck would I bother?”
“Oh, I don’t know, because you don’t want to be a creepy
old man who lives in the middle of nowhere and has to run off silly high school
kids with his shotgun because they tell ghost stories about him?”
He looked at her, half sure that she was the one who’d
lost her damn mind. “That’s not a thing.”
“It is most definitely a thing.” She leaned back on her
hands and stared at the sky. The most move arched her back and pressed her
breasts against the fancy tank top she wore. It was made of some kind of drapey
fabric that looked soft and shiny, and it highlighted the fact that he
seriously doubted she was wearing a bra. “You’re too young to just give up.”
“It’s not about giving up.” Though he didn’t expect Hope
to understand that. He’d checked up on her a few times since the accident, and
every single time he was amazed at the things she’d accomplished. Life had
kicked her in the teeth and she’d come back swinging. She’d taken two years off
and then attended the University of Texas and graduated with honors. She ran
her own successful consulting business to work with companies that wanted to
set up scholarships and nonprofits.
She shifted
to look at him. “It looks like giving up from where I’m sitting.”
