Laughter carried across the cafe, stopping him in the middle of his sentence. His head turned, almost helplessly, toward the sound, and every single thing around him came to a screeching halt. The blushing woman in front of him blurred as the pair of dark eyes behind the counter met his.

Oh.

You. Are. Mine.

If there's one thing Dr. Kellen Edwards is certain of, it's that he wants Bailey Green.

Wants her.

Seconds after swearing off giving his heart to another woman because of the disastrous relationship he left behind in Louisiana, he walks into a coffee shop...and there she is.

His woman.

At least, she will be if he can simply get the words out of his mouth.

Never in his life has a woman rendered him speechless, but during the day, he finds himself lost in her eyes and captivated by her skin. At night, she's the star of his fantasies.

But she will be his, and once she is, there won't be any turning back. Not that she'll want to.

He can be pretty convincing when he wants to be.
