The Greatest Risk

The Greatest Risk
Cara Colter

Dedicated social worker and adoption expert Maggie Sullivan had put everyone else's needs above her own. Now, as her biological clock ticked, she decided to focus on herself and the growing ache to have a baby.Would fate–and a sexy collision–grant her secret wish. Enter daredevil construction foreman Luck August, who had no use for commitment or safe living. No way would he settle for anything serious…that is, unless serious meant Maggie and her stealthlike way of sneaking into his heart. Suddenly, love seemed like the most exciting and dangerous risk of all–and he was ready for a wild ride.

Maggie Sullivan was wearing an outfit worth waiting for.

But Luke was not the kind of guy who could be trusted with a woman who got hurt easily. Let her go, his voice of reason cautioned.

“Hey, Maggie,” said his other voice.

She spun, startled, and stared at him. Why hadn’t he just let her leave?

That’s what I told you to do, the voice of reason reminded him.

Maggie was trying very hard not to smile. But then it flickered across her lips, disappeared and then reappeared, like the sun peeping out of rain clouds.

The sun won and changed everything. Maggie’s smile was wide and infectious. In the blink of an eye it transformed her from an old schoolmarm to a woman who looked young and carefree…and astoundingly beautiful.

How was it possible he’d been in such proximity to her earlier and hadn’t noticed how kissable her mouth was?

Miss Maggie had lips that could be declared dangerous weapons. And he was determined to see them put to good use.
