An Eaton too hot to deny
The Kentucky clinic where Dr. Levi Eaton is volunteering is worlds away from his wealthy Pennsylvania roots. Still, the South has plenty of attractions—like his colleague’s captivating sister. Angela Chase is sexy, charming and looking for fun, not commitment. That combination suits Levi just fine, until he begins to appreciate what lies beneath her Southern belle facade.
Her fiancé’s betrayal destroyed Angela’s faith in men—and inspired a double life that would surprise her prominent family. Hiding her true self from a man as charismatic as Levi isn’t so easy, and for once, she isn’t sure she wants to try. But without the courage to trust him with her secrets, their sultry Southern nights may soon be just a haunting memory….
Angela’s eyes dropped
before Levi’s steady gaze.
She forced a smile. “You’re right.”
Cradling her face, Levi stared deeply into her eyes. “I can’t begin to presume to know what you’ve gone through, but I’m willing to help you get through this, Angela. I’m not your brothers or your father, so Robert Gaskin will be unprepared to deal with me running interference. Do you trust me?” he asked softly.
The word trust was like gall in Angela’s mouth. She’d trusted Robert and he’d deceived her. She’d trusted Savannah, and she also had deceived her. The only people she trusted were family members and now Levi was asking her to trust him. “Do I have a choice?”
He brushed a kiss over her parted lips. “No, you don’t. What I’m not going to do is lie to you. I like you. You’re pretty, intelligent, and you’re not snobby or uptight even though—”
“I’m an SB.”
“What’s an SB?” he asked.
“Southern belle.”
Smiling, Levi kissed her again, this one very different from the others they’d shared. His kiss was slow, surprisingly gentle and coaxing. It ended seconds later, leaving her mouth burning and wanting more.

Dear Reader,
Riddle: What do you get when the heroine is secretly a romance novelist?
Answer: Sweet Southern Nights.
There is a very good reason why Angela Chase—aka Angelina Courtland—believes in happily ever after for everyone but herself; however, that’s before she meets Dr. Levi Eaton. The question is, can the sexy pediatrician turn the serial dater into a real-life heroine worthy of her own happy ending?
Kentucky is the setting for Sweet Southern Nights, so put your feet up, grab a mint julep, rub shoulders with folks who think basketball is a religion and consider the first Saturday in May a holiday. Also look out for my next Eaton book, when Crystal Eaton finds herself involved with Joseph Cole-Wilson. This title promises drama and passion as two prominent families plan to add another branch onto their family tree.
Read, live and love romance.
Rochelle Alers
