Cassidy Jennings is 24 years old and has been through more than she ever imagined she could survive. She tries to stay away from anything that could throw her into an adventure and working in her grandfather's 24/7 milkshake bar in the small coastal town she grew up in doesn't lend itself to many adventures, which is perfect for her. Even so, when a mysterious and imposing stranger comes in to the bar in the middle of the night, she can't help but be captivated by him.
Ryder McAllister has been to hell and back far too often in his 26 years. He has seen things that would give even the toughest soldier nightmares. He is haunted by the things he has done. So when his sleepless nights lead him to the strange 24/7 milkshake bar, and he meets a colorful young woman he is afraid his darkness will douse the fire he sees in her, but he just can't seem to stay away.
She is day and he is the night.
She is the ocean and he is the shore.
Could a Milkshake hold the answers they both yearn for?
Or will the night close in before they get the chance to find their redemption?

Country Girl at Heart
After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself. Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad. This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer. Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.Complete

"So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.
