Rafferty Hamilton doesn't plan on putting down roots anytime soon. With her divorce final, the hotel heiress has left Manhattan behind to scout new locations for her family's chain of resorts. Which is why it's so frustrating to be stranded in Laurel Falls while a good-looking, slow-talking, Stetson-wearing mechanic takes his sweet time with her overheated coupe. A decorated vet who paid his dues in Afghanistan, Trace Black can fix anything with an engine and get it revving--even Rafferty's ridiculous sports car. He's couldn't say the same for the knockout driver, who looks like she's never gripped a gear shaft in her life. Women like Rafferty don't usually stick around in Laurel Falls, but Trace finds himself showing her everything his hometown has to offer before she cruises on down the road. As the days pass, Rafferty finds herself charmed by the pace of life and the openhearted warmth of the residents. She's even tempted to trust again--and it's all thanks to Trace. He's not the kind of guy she's used to falling for, but he just might be the man she needs.Advance praise for Leaving Yesterday "I loved how Zoe Dawson's wounded-soul hero and strong heroine both came alive in the pages of the story!

Entra y coloca tu brazo a mí alrededor y te diré todo lo que sé de Lyd-i-a y tú. —Pero estaré desnudo. —¿Y qué? Me trepé al asiento de la bañera de hidromasajes y sostuve mis brazos hacia afuera para que Jimmy viera. —Mira, estoy desnuda. A medida que sus ojos sobresalientes observaron mi forma desnuda, se le formó una tienda de campaña en la bata que usaba. Lánguidamente, me volteé mostrando los costados y la parte trasera de mi cuerpo con curvas. —Has querido verme desnudo por dos años y aquí estoy. ¿Ahora entrarás al spa conmigo? Sonreí mientras me liberé de mi bata y jade cuando vi su inmensa espada. ¡Dios, eso sí que es grande! Su polla me hipnotizó, saltando de arriba abajo como un trampolín mientras marchó hacia mí. Cuando estuvo de pie ante mí, su impresionante carne masculina estaba a solo centímetros de mi boca, luché contra el impulso de tomar su increíble comestible en mi boca. Pensé que quizás tomaría la decisión de mis manos y lo empujaría dentro de mi boca parcialmente abierta, pero en vez de eso posó una mano en mi hombro mientras dio el paso grande hacia el asiento. —Demonios, est�
