Tropical Fever - Part 2 — Roxie Odell

They say love hurts, but that's not true. It's the loneliness that hurts. Riley Teeter's never been very brave or much of a rebel, but Grayson William Smith makes her want to be both. Still, as much emotion and passion he stirs up in her, something about that terrifies her. Gray won't admit it, but he is equally frightened of the well-off, beautiful good girl, the daughter of a politician. He's not the kind of guy who falls for a woman. No, Gray's more of a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. The trouble is, now he's fallen crazy hard for Riley, and that has him rattled him to the core, like the well-shaken martinis he serves at his father's tiki bar. When an ill-timed decision puts them both in danger, Grayson and Riley find themselves faced with a choice. Will they admit to themselves and each other that what lies between them is more than a fling, or will they let their tropical fever simmer down forever? Tropical Fever Series Part 1-3
