You're The One That I Want — Dahlia Rose

Sasha Caroway lived and loved life to the fullest. There was never a mountain she was afraid to climb or a body of water she was afraid to jump into feet first. She had swam with sharks in Australia and cliff dived in Hawaii. Who would have thought she'd be felled by the biggest challenge of her life, in the form of Adrian Faraday. He enticed her to dancing barefoot on the bar of his Irish pub in Savannah. He kissed her until she saw stars. The passion he created was like two atoms meeting. Sasha found her wild ways being tamed by this enigmatic man with the unusual eyes. The problem was a big one, and could crumble her world. How could she get him to see, it was more than just fun for her. Adrian was the one she wanted to give her heart to. Would it bloom like honeysuckle in the Georgia sunlight or shatter like glass in his hands?

Adrian saw Sasha sitting at his bar one night and was drawn to her instantly. From the first night he knew she was someone he wanted in his life, but he had baggage of his own. The deal his uncle had made with an unscrupulous man haunted him and put everyone he cared about in jeopardy. He longed for Sasha's kisses and immersed himself in her scent and her smile. Sasha was like a breath of fresh air in his world, and when her life was threatened, Adrian knew he'd protect her no matter what the cost, even if it meant pushing her away. Could he stand letting her go if it came to it and living his life without the woman he called his treasure?
