Just One Kiss (Fool's Gold)
by Susan Mallery
He won't hesitate to put his life on the line...but will he ever risk his
heart? Falling for her best friend Justice Garrett was a high point in Patience McGraw's
otherwise awkward adolescence. Even after he disappeared, Patience never forgot the boy
who captured her heart. Now he's back in Fool's Gold, California, and her passion for
him is as strong as ever. But how can she trust that he won't abandon her again - and
her daughter, too? When bodyguard Justice Garrett was a young man, witness protection
brought him to this idyllic town and he never forgot its warmth, or the sweet beauty of
his childhood friend. He's returned to open an elite defense academy, and the Patience
he once knew is all grown up. He can't resist her smile, or her curves. But Justice's
past doesn't make him husband, or father, material. Patience and Justice think they'll
succumb to just one kiss.... Then one more... Okay, just one night together. But they
might learn that falling in love is beyond anyone's control.
