When my daughter decided that the woman who has hated me for years is her new favorite person, I knew I was screwed.I met Chloe during one of the worst times of my life and she called me out as the troublemaker I was. After eight years, she still hates me. But I’m not some punk kid anymore. I have a daughter to raise, a life to build.Unfortunately for Chloe, that life is in her hometown. The same small town she left years ago.Now she’s back and to everyone else, she’s the same delightful, kind-hearted girl.That’s not the Chloe I get.No, I get the woman hell-bent on vengeance. But her attempts at putting me in my place only make me want to smack her sweet, sassy backside. I crave her salty attitude and angry jabs.When our animosity starts affecting my daughter, a truce is formed.Hot, needy glances slowly replace scathing glares.Still, I don’t dare hope for more. Even if everything inside me is aching to explore her, possess her—I can’t. Because I know she would want it all. She’d want what I’ve never given to any woman before her.She’d want all my love words._______The Love Words is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers, single dad, small-town romantic comedy with tons of banter, plenty of spice, and a swoony HEA.
