Funny, sinfully sexy, opposite-attracts romance.In SWEET, SEXY HEART...Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life. She loves running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure-response dog, and spending time with her close-knit family. She's never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress-including relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he's everything she's spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes.

When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he's ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn't want to run from, he'll stop at nothing to win her over.THE BRADENS & MONTGOMERYS (Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls).
