Taste of Passion

Mackenzie "Mac" Standfield is an attorney who gave up on love after a heartbreak that left her badly hurt. One man still unsettles her judgment: rodeo star Luke Madaris. They part, and five years go by.

When Mac runs into Luke again, the sexual tension between them is as strong as before. Soon after, Luke is injured in a rodeo and needs somewhere to recover. His family would hover over him, so he chooses Mac's home.

Neither of them wants a romantic entanglement. Mac has her wariness, and Luke shares her lack of interest in commitment. But living in close quarters with her pushes Luke toward a desire he can no longer hold off.

The story is a contemporary romance built on a forced-proximity setup, with the attraction growing stronger day by day. As Mac and Luke give in to it, the question is whether Mac, who has sworn off love, can walk away from a Madaris man.
