Poppy
I loved Dylan, but he left anyway.
He slipped away in the middle of the night with no warning, and he never returned. He didn’t even say goodbye. An abrupt end to the biggest love affair of my life.
Sounds like lyrics to the latest country song, but every word of this ditty is true.
Even now, ten years later, the man still haunts my memory. Is he healthy? Happy? Sexy and delectable?
Imagine my surprise when I move to a small Montana village, only to learn the mayor is the same man who ghosted me years earlier.
To answer that last question, the term delectable doesn’t do Dylan justice.
There’s only one obstacle to our joyous reunion. He hates me. At least that’s what I thought…until he kissed me.
The feelings between us still burn hot, but my heart was torched once by Dylan West.
Do I risk the fire or run for safety?
Dylan
My biggest regret was leaving Poppy ten years ago. But she was a free spirit, and I needed to grow up and join the real world.
So, I left her—along with my heart—in the California desert, returning home to my tiny Montana town.
Time moved on, and I thought I had, too. Until one fateful morning when I went to greet our town’s newest resident and my past collided with my present.
Now, she’s under my skin, just like before, sexier and feistier than ever. I want nothing more than to make her mine, but I doubt a single father holds much appeal for a woman like Poppy.
There’s only one solution—I can’t let her near my heart again.
But I know the idea is moot. Poppy has owned my heart all along.

EXCERPTS
#1
“Poppy, don’t walk away from me.”
“Doesn’t feel so good, does it?”
I grab her to me, feeling the shivers run through her body. Run through my own. I forgot I could feel this way. I forgot everything, but one touch from Poppy brings it all flooding back. “You will always be my girl. It doesn’t matter how many years have passed or how many women I’ve slept with to try to forget you. Forget how you made me feel.”
“Let me go,” Poppy snaps, twisting in my grasp.
Instead of freeing her, I grasp her tighter, pulling her flush against my body. God help me, I miss her. It feels like forever and only a moment since I held her. Since she begged me to never let her go.
I never will again.
But Poppy has ten years of fight in her, and she isn’t yielding. “I’m not your girl. I haven’t been your girl since the day you left me. Remember?”
“I’m working on that.”
“By being an asshole? Word of advice, D—try harder.”
My last bit of patience snaps as my hands slide up to cup her face. “How’s this, then?”
I swallow her arguments, not bothering to seek permission before I capture her mouth. Backing her to the wall, I tangle my fingers in her hair, forcing her to take every ounce of the passion I’ve saved for her. Only for her.
She pushes against me, breaking us apart in the heat of the moment. She stands there—cheeks flushed, breath coming in pants, chest heaving—and glowers in my direction. “How dare you.”
“I dare.” It’s a throwback to our initial meeting, when I showed her in no uncertain terms that she belonged to me. “You are mine, Poppy, and I’m taking back what belongs to me.”
#2
“Looks like I’m not the only one raring to go.”
“Totally your fault. If you were terrible in bed, we wouldn’t have this issue. But, like everything else, you insist on excelling.” My final word huffs from my mouth as Dylan buries himself inside me.
“What were you saying?” Dylan inquires, cocking his brow at me as he moves inside me, filling me completely.
“I have no idea,” I breathe, fisting the sheets. “Just keep going.”
#3
“Did you make your Christmas list, Poppy?” Marissa chimes in.
“No, I can’t say that I have. Did you?”
Marissa nods, pulling it from her pocket and handing it to me. “You think Santa can fill all those wishes?”
I scan the list, my gaze catching on one particular entry at the bottom in bold crayon. “I’m sure he can try, but the last one might be tricky.”
“Why? You’re here.”
“What’s the last one?” Dylan inquires, peering over my shoulder.
“I asked Santa to send you a wife, Dad. He sent Poppy. You need a wife.”
My face flames at the little girl’s assumption, and I blurt out the first thing that pops into my brain. “He doesn’t believe in marriage.”
Funny thing, Dylan has his own response, spoken in stereo with my own. “She doesn’t believe in marriage.”
Our gazes meet, widening at the other’s admission.
“What?” we question each other, again in stereo. Much more of this and we’ll have to start a harmonizing group.
“I know you’re a free spirit, Poppy. Even if you believe in monogamous relationships, you’ve never wanted marriage or kids. I keep telling Marissa that, but she keeps asking me, regardless.” Dylan takes the list, handing it back to Marissa.
“I’m glad she does. Maybe one time you’ll give the correct answer.”
AUTHOR BIO
M.L. Broome is a bohemian spirit with a New York edge. She writes high-octane contemporary romance with a touch of angst and plenty of steamy goodness. Her characters are bitingly real, earning their happily-ever-after only after some emotional ass-kicking and personal growth.
When M.L. isn't writing or holding one-sided arguments with her characters (spoiler alert—they always win), she loves losing herself in nature on her North Carolina farm, one of her rescue buddies by her side. She adores dressing up and kicking back, a glass of whiskey with an equally stunning view, and experiences that make the soul—and senses—tingle.
