Rugged Glory
Two at .99 Limited Time.
1. Rugged Glory is Classic Cait London, the schoolteacher and the rancher. Here's a blurb:
Rugged Glory: Light contemporary. Prim and proper widow Sami Lassiter, the guardian of her two young nieces, needs a summer job and big tough Ben Woden needs a tutor for his son. This rough and rugged Wyoming rancher talks blunt and kisses sweet and hungry, but he’s got a lot to learn about treating a lady. While Sami deals with Ben’s take-over notions, she deals with a hard past and reminds her of another man. As Ben raises her unexpected passions—and temper, cool and collected Sami discovers primitive hungers of her own.
Here's a sweet little scene:
SURRENDER, AT LAST...
“Come here, little bit.” Two arms wrapped about her, hauling her down beside him. A heavy thigh clamped over her legs, locking them immobile.
Shackled by the strength of his body, her head tucked beneath his chin, Sami squirmed but could not dislodge his hold. “Mr. Woden!”
“I’ve watched that pretty little mouth talk and wondered how your lips would taste, half-pint,” he murmured. “I bet they’re as sweet as high-meadow flowers.” A callused hand cupped her jaw, tilting her face toward his lips.
“Mmmm.” Sami’s protest slid back into her throat, muffled by the pressure of his lips.
A heartbeat later, he murmured against her mouth, “Easy now, little bit. Easy. I won’t hurt you.”
His lips teased hers. Tantalizing kisses prowled the soft contours of her lips. As his mouth played tenderly on hers, Sami felt her taut body yield to the mellow warmth, easing her curves to fit the hard lines of his body...

As a special note: These people have not so-simple issues and settling the past is the way to their future. Scarred in childhood, Sami has lost the love of her life, so she's fighting her attraction to Ben. His own childhood wasn't sweet, but Ben digs in to try to help his son. I loved the two little girls. Sami try to change their poor upbringing, their "potty-mouths" and she's doing a good job. But when Ben gets her so riled she finds herself in a mud-wrestling contest, Sami has problems of her own.
