Tricia Carter loves teaching, but as a high school teacher, her newest student puzzles her.
When she calls home to discuss her concerns, she learns the child lives with a much older brother.
She also discovers he’s her next door neighbor and dangerous.
Complete with tattoos, piercings and lots of leather, he’s everything Tricia isn’t interested in.
She knows all about the menacing-man types and she won’t be walking into the darkness again.
She’s smarter than that.
Leon Ramirez never learns.
Case in point is the woman next door.
When his sister has issues in school, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble himself. Addicted to dangerous situations in his formative years, this former gang member just wants to live a simple life, work on cars, and drink his beer in peace.
His vivacious, witty and tempting neighbor screams off limits, and he won’t dismiss the signs. He’s not that dumb.
When you don’t heed the signs, the heart reads between the lines.
Author note: A hot mechanic who quotes Shakespeare and the teacher next door leads to small-town suspense, swoon-worthy sexy time, and a second chance at love.

Meet L.B. Dunbar
I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination.
To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet).
My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males.
I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.
Connect with L.B. Dunbar

Dunbar brings us to Elk Lake City on Lake Michigan in Heart Collection series. It's so poetic cause it really is a collection of stories about matters of the heart of this small townspeople. Where everybody knows their name, everybody frequents the same bars & restaurants and come together as a community while celebrating festivals or watching each other's backs. It's heartwarming tale of family & friends you'll immediately relate to in some way or the other. Everyone walks away with something, a twinge in the heart, a smile on your lips, a moist patch on your panties😁
Hot passion igniting the body and Shakespearean quotes stimulating the heart, this book sates it all!!
When Leon Ramirez - a man with tats on his back and a fine ass in basketball shorts , gatecrashes this tight-knit, close community with mysterious silence and two sisters in tow, Lena & Lys, they try and and fit themselves without causing a ripple.
"How is my life just one mess after another?"
But Leon is nothing short of a trouble magnet, he doesn't go looking for it, it's right there at his heels. One on top of the other, hits just keep on coming. He just can't seem to catch a break
"I never want to be anything other than who I am. I can’t change my past. I can’t predict the future. I can only be my best me in the present, and that’s what I’m trying to do."
Add to that his cute & nerdy next door neighbor, Tricia Carter who gets pulled in Ramirez house hold turbulence by association of her feelings, it's a recipe of perfect disaster
‘The course of true love doth not run smooth,’
It's highly commendable that Dunbar manages to touch upon several sensitive topics in this story. Drawing on her own real experiences as ateacher/educator, and having dealt with young impressionable minds for a number of years, She bravely ventures into debatable politico-social problems plaguing the world today with her trademark sensibility and compassion. I wish we had more educators like her to guide the Karens and Chads running rampant right now.
