Loving Miranda — Teresa Bodwell

But despite Miranda's distrust of the man, the sweet words come easily, as do the kisses...

Ben isn't looking for love--and certainly not with Miranda, who is as pure and innocent as a spring flower. She has no need of a hardened man like him. All he wants is to collect what's owed him and be on his way. But Miranda's soft touch is temptation indeed, and loving her -- for now and forever -- just might be what he's truly wanted all along...
