Melancholy Baby
Hot and Bothered!

Teal Anderson couldn't believe it, but the small Missouri town she'd grown up in was just the same -- except for Bud Huntington! He'd been the best-looking boy in high school, and the wildest -- but now the reckless rebel was the town doctor...and the most gorgeous man she'd ever known. He still wore his jeans too low and rode his motorcycle too fast, but she wanted him as much as she ever had -- and he knew it! Bud understood just how to tease and taunt the cool, prim redhead...and just how to stoke the flames of her long-suppressed desire. He kissed her hard and deep, capturing her lips with the fervor of a man who wanted a lifetime but would take each moment as it came. Once, Teal had left home for life in the big city, vowing never to return, but in Bud's arms she began to see that what had driven her away had finally brought her back. Could she show her daring roughneck that anywhere her heart was happy she was at home?
