Sweet, Sexy Heart

Amber Montgomery is perfectly content with her quiet life. She loves running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her seizure-response Labrador, and spending time with her close-knit family, and she has never craved the thrills some of her sisters chase. Living with epilepsy, she works hard to avoid anything that stirs up too much excitement or stress, relationships very much included. Then she agrees to host a book signing for Dash Pennington, a famed football-player-turned-author who is everything she has spent her life steering clear of: loud, brash, unapologetically confident, and far too handsome, as the crowds of women trailing him everywhere make painfully clear. Dash is used to commanding attention, but the composed, gentle bookseller who seems immune to his charm intrigues him like no one else. As their worlds keep overlapping, Amber finds her carefully guarded calm challenged by a man who thrives on exactly the kind of intensity she avoids. Set among the sprawling Montgomery and Braden families, this funny, opposites-attract romance asks whether a woman built for quiet and a man built for noise can meet somewhere in the middle and make room for love.
