if he's the living epitome of her sexual fantasies.

the two unite to catch a potential murderer, it's in everyone's best
interest to keep it, "business only". But that's hard to do
when their combined attraction is volatile enough to burn down the
town.

EXCERPT FROM WHISTLIN’ DIXIE
So when Mac knocked softly on the door minutes
later, she turned a deaf ear to his plea. “Dixie, please let me in. I want to
explain what you saw,” Mac whispered.
Oh my God! Did he think she was blind? Or just plain stupid? Or so
deeply enamored of him that she was gonna let this stand?
“I saw what I saw. I took
biology. I know all about sexual reproduction. Please leave.” She was privately
amazed she was able to carry on any kind of conversation with the two timing
jerk. She congratulated herself on how collected she’d been, considering her
temper was threatening to erupt again.
Knocking again a little more
forcefully, he pleaded. “Dixie baby, please open up. You didn’t see what you
thought you saw. Please. Just let me explain.”
“I may be young, but I’m not
stupid. And I am most certainly not blind,” she snapped at him from the other
side of the door. The man was
unbelievable.
“You are the most infuriating bit of
baggage I have ever encountered. If I
didn’t care for you so much, I’d leave right now and never look back.”
“You call that caring?! I call it
a line of crap! The only thing you cared about begins with an “F” and ends with
me losing my virginity!” Oh, God! Had she
really just shouted that?
Pounding on the door with his
fist, he shouted, “Dixie Harris, you open the door this minute, or I’ll break
it down!”
“Then I’ll just have you arrested
for breaking and entering. Sort of ironic, don’t you think?” she countered
sweetly. She felt like crying the Mississippi River because he broke her heart,
but she was not going to let that arrogant pain-in-the-ass know just how much
she was hurting. She had her pride!
“Fine. Just fine. I should’ve
known better than to get involved with a little girl, anyhow. Maybe, in a few
years, when you grow up and if you have apologized nicely, I might just take
you back! And bring a damn soapbox to stand on. My neck’s getting sore from
looking down at you!” he snarled. After giving the closed-door another good
pounding, he stomped out of the house, slamming the front door.
“Oooooh!” Dixie’s eyes narrowed to mere slits
and her hands balled into fists as Mac’s last remark registered with the
banging of the screen door. It was like pouring gasoline on a bonfire. She was
out of her bedroom and on the front porch in seconds. Heedless of the people
walking down the street, she advanced like a mad woman across the yard,
screaming. “Apologize to you? When pigs fly, you Mississippi River rat. I
wasn’t the one caught fornicating in the parking lot of the local pizza parlor.
Hell will freeze over before I apologize.”
Mac saw her coming out on the
front porch, and he started toward her, but the smugness left his face,
however, with each shouted word. By the time she was finished with her tirade,
Mac’s eyes were tempered steel and his face was set granite. “Well, the Devil
better get ready for a heat wave, baby, because I feel the same way.”
He hopped in his truck and with a
squeal of tires, he was gone.

Tempered Steel Book 5
“Lady,
if I were you, I’d get the hell away from here ‘cause when I make
it up this hill, I’m gonna be looking for you.” Lucky Coalson’s
luck has run out. His ex-wife turned out to be a con artist; his
business is in a shambles, and he’s been tossed into a muddy river
by a smart assed feminist with a chip on her shoulder. Things
couldn’t get much worse…or so he thought.
When
Lucky’s accused of murdering his ex-wife, the Coalson family
enlists the help of a private investigator to gather the clues
necessary to prove his innocence. Little did they know that Renee
Morgan is the same woman that sent Lucky scrambling up a sodden river
bank at the height of a storm.
The
two square off immediately, but Renee’s admiration of the Coalson
family, despite her dislike of Lucky, is the deciding factor in her
acceptance of the job. And although Lucky bristles every time she
speaks, he grudgingly respects her intelligence and savvy skills as a
private investigator.
As
the hunt for the killer escalates, the two find they are not the only
ones looking for the mysterious assassin. And the other people are
more than willing to take out anyone that gets in their way,
including those that Lucky and Renee hold dear to their hearts.
In
a moment of passion that rocks them to the core, they realize their
love may be forged in fire, but both have been badly burned by past
lovers, and too stubborn to admit the truth. Can they find a way
around their fears, or will Lucky’s ex-wife continue to plague him
from the grave?
