Unbuttoned
by Maisey Yates

Carly Denton has learned to keep her buttons and emotions firmly fastened. Her parents’ constant drama, and an unrequited crush on her brother’s best friend, taught her to keep her passion beneath the surface. But she can no longer avoid the one man with the ability to bring that passion to a boil...

Lucas remembers Carly as a freckle-faced tomboy—not a frosty woman who treats him like a burr under her saddle. But when they must work together on a charity project, Lucas is shocked to find their bickering melt into some serious mutual attraction. He’s determined to show Carly that he’s the man for her, if only she’d learn to let loose.

Lucas is the last man on earth Carly should give in to. The freedom she finds in his arms has her feeling happier than ever, but is it enough to make her realize that the greatest risk isn’t losing your heart, but losing the chance at happiness?

Includes a preview of Maisey Yates’ novel, UNEXPECTED, coming August 20, 2013 in eBook format.

Maisey Yates' Bio

I always knew that I wanted to be a writer, even when I had no idea what I wanted to write! Even when the idea of being a writer boiled down to a kind of half-imagined childhood fantasy of growing up to be a woman who wore big necklaces and gauzy dresses. (which I don't do...but at the time, it seemed like the thing to aspire to!) Even when I wasn't writing seriously, I was harassing my friends and relatives with nonsensical email stories starring them and various characters from Lord of the Rings. I was distracted from writing for a while between college and meeting the man of my dreams, my own personal tall dark handsome hero, and getting married and starting our family. Then, when I was pregnant with our second child I picked up my first romance novel.But it was when I found my first Harlequin Presents at a thrift store that I really fell in love with the genre. And that was when I knew what I wanted to write. Nearly two years after writing and submitting my first ever full manuscript I got The Call from Harlequin Mills and Boon. I am truly happy to say that I am now a Harlequin Presents author! I live in the wilds of Southern Oregon with my gorgeous, diaper-changing husband, our two little boys, our baby girl, and our anti-social cat.
