Rough Edges
Tall, Dark, And Dangerous

Tessa North moved to Seattle with one thing in mind: the welfare of her thirteen-year-old nephew, Kris. His mother was dead, and his father was in Australia, working on a project that would take months. With his father on the other side of the world, Tessa was the only family Kris had.

But lately, Tessa sensed that her nephew was drifting away. He stayed out late. He ran with a new crowd. And when she questioned him, she got the silent treatment. She was losing her nephew and she didn't know why. Not sure what to do, Tessa made an appointment with Mr. Leeland Tull Payton, III, a social worker recommended by Kris's school.

She expected a conservative, staid man in a three-piece suit. Instead, she found herself face to face with a sexy, long-legged biker. With his leather jacket, dark ponytail, and intense brown eyes, this man was definitely tall, dark, and dangerous--at least to a single woman. Lee Payton may have been the savior of kids on the streets, but with those bedroom eyes he was bound to be Tessa's downfall.
