Between the sheets

After years of running, Ty Svenson has now parked himself in Bishop, Arkansas, trying to do the right thing and parent a son he didn't even know he had until recently. Over six feet tall and packed with muscles and power, Ty likes to get his hands dirty, fixing his motorcycle at night and keeping his mind away from the mistakes he's made. Then his pretty neighbor shows up on his driveway, doesn't bother to introduce herself, and complains about the noise. Funny that she turns out to be his son's elementary school art teacher--and the only one willing to help his troubled boy. Though Shelby Monroe is safe in her structured life, she is drawn to Ty's bad-boy edge and rugged sexuality. Ty is determined to convince Shelby to take the biggest risk of her life: on him.--From back cover.
