**BLURB**

A sassy new romance from a USA Today Bestselling Author…

After moving cross-country yet again, Hannah Roberts wants to put down roots in Colorado. She’s sunk her life savings into a share of Bloom Yoga Studio, but the studio is losing money, and fast. The building is undergoing a messy, noisy renovation–and the hot carpenter in charge is distracting her yoga students in more ways than one. If Hannah can’t talk the hard-bodied builder out of his power tools, she might as well kiss her dreams goodbye.

When Jake Marshall returned from Afghanistan, he brought back an injured knee and a lot of bad memories. He just wants to finish this renovation, rehab his knee, and head for Alaska to leave it all behind. A sexy yoga teacher doesn’t fit into his plans. But when Hannah offers him private sessions in exchange for quiet hours—he’s all in.  He doesn’t expect that while she’s healing his knee, Hannah will poke at all his hidden wounds…and come dangerously close to breaking open his heart.

He stood in the half shadows, his face hard, his gaze on mine. Light cut across his left cheekbone and jaw. It cast the rest of him in darkness.

Sometimes I forgot just how large he was. He stood in my entryway, filling up the space, turning my world on its axis. My small home was shifting around him, accommodating him, embracing him.

Any box I put this man into needed sides of steel. Any boundaries I erected could be deep as the Grand Canyon, wide as the Pacific Ocean, and still he would breach them.

He was muscle and power and exuded a force of his own.

My sharp breaths sliced through the small space. My heart was racing, my lungs fighting to keep up.

No way out but through.

I closed the distance between us. Placed my open palm on his chest. He inhaled swiftly. Hard as iron. His eyes were lost in the shadow.

God, this man.

His white dress shirt was warm and smooth, luxurious fabric over rigid muscle. I leaned up on my tiptoes and slid my other hand around the back of his neck. Short hairs prickled my palm and sent a shiver down my spine.

My toes curled in my shoes. He was heat and spice and power. I licked my lips. Pulled his mouth down to mine. And kissed him.

Soft. Soft press of my lips. I slid my mouth across his, and a thousand nerve endings lit up. My legs, my belly, my chest, my arms, my mouth. Even my scalp shivered. I was awake. Roaring awake. Everywhere.

I slid my hand up his chest to his thick shoulder and pressed into him. Pressed my softness into his hardness.

Breath shuddered out of him. And finally, finally, he touched me.

He bent his knees, splayed his palm over the back of my thigh, then slid up, dragging my silk dress with him.

“You’re killing me in this dress,” he growled against my mouth. “I’ve wanted to touch you here all night.”

He rested his palm on the top of my thigh, just below the curve of my ass.

A shudder jerked through me. He nipped my ear, and I gasped.

“Yes, Hannah. I’ve got you.” His breath was hot against my ear. He slid his hand up higher.
