Not You Again by Tara Crescent

“Admit it, you want to try a piece.” I take a sausage off the grill and hold it toward her. “Open wide, honey. Don’t worry, I won’t shove it down your throat.”
Her voice is sugar sweet. “That’s okay, I’ll use my teeth. Biting is encouraged, right?”
Dakota Wilde. Stubborn, impossible, perfect. A year ago, we had a smokin’ hot one-night-stand. I wanted more. She blew me off. That’s just the way life is, right? You don’t always get everything you want.

Except I don’t lose.

The chemistry between us burns hotter than a five-alarm fire.
And when we’re together, we can’t seem to stop touching each other.
We’re very alike. We have more in common than we think. She makes me a better person. I make her laugh. Our banter, just like our chemistry, is electric.

Then the town of Madison pits us against each other in an insane contest to win a restaurant permit.
I know what I have to do.
I’m not playing for the permit. I’m playing for Dakota.

This time, I’m not giving up without a fight. This time, I intend to win.
