MITCH--The Rugged Vet with a Flame in His Eyes and Fire in His Touch... He'd always been able to talk Kate Perry into just about anything, but when Dr. Mitch Jones persuaded his pretty ex-wife to adopt a wise-eyed injured tomcat, he promised he'd be making plenty of house calls! Tantalized by the man who'd ignited her body and stolen her heart in high school, Kate wanted to run--but she still remembered his hands on her body and couldn't send him away. Her Kisses Made Him Melt Like Chocolate. Mitch ached to reclaim the only woman he'd ever truly loved, but Kate wasn't sure she could play stepmother to his daughter, Chelsea. But getting him out of her system meant letting him in one last time--and no memory could match the heat of their passion, or the sweet promise of family. Once Kate faced her fear of losing the man she adored, could she make Mitch see shed fight to keep them together?
