Playful Hearts Marianne Rice

Having fun and living his life on a whim is Blake Riley's motto. When he moves back to Rocky Harbor, Maine, he thinks his life is about to turn predictable...until he meets Mackenzie Pratt. Her smart mouth and quirky attitude make him want to see how wild they can get together. Mackenzie's too busy running the local coffee shop and caring for her mom. There's no time or desire for a real relationship. However, a no-strings and all fun fling with Blake was right up her alley. With his crazy sense of adventure and raw sex appeal, he's the perfect man to take her mind off her problems. As their relationship begins to creep from the bedroom and dangerously close to her heart, their casual trysts develop into something more-something neither expected. But Blake's former life is full of secrets that threaten their developing relationship. Can Blake keep trouble away from Mackenzie? Or will their playful hearts grow cold when his past comes calling?
