Roughneck

Maci Lou Long has witnessed firsthand, the harm a man can cause a weak-willed woman. As the daughter of the town drunk, her soul is far older than her twenty-one years. On her own, since seventeen she’s still picking up her mother’s mess on a regular basis. Working in the diner frequented by the town roughnecks she’s never had a shortage of satisfaction in the bed. Then a drifter blows in from the north and slips under her defenses.

After losing his wife in a car accident, Ty takes to the road, working oil rigs and avoiding close connections. Then he arrived in a tiny, Texas town, and remembers what it is to want a woman for more than one night. Six months’ worth of conversation with the waitress, Maci has him ready for more, so he makes a deal.

Two weeks of her time and they’ll go their separate ways. She agrees, and the game of tug of war for her heart begins. Can he show her what it means to be loved by a roughneck?
