Tempting Alibi
Savannah Stuart
Scott got into a fair amount of trouble as a teenager, but now he’s grown and runs a
respectable auto body shop. Unfortunately, the sheriff of his town has it out for him, no
matter how much he’s cleaned up his act. When he’s accused of a crime he didn’t
commit, no one is more surprised than he is when straitlaced Michaela Miller provides
him with an alibi. An alibi that’s a complete lie. Determined to find out why his sexy
next-door neighbor helped him out, he puts himself in danger of losing something he’d
never considered. His heart.

Chapter One
Michaela Miller froze with her glass of wine halfway to her mouth. Her eyes
widened as she watched her sexy-as-sin neighbor Scott O’Callaghan step through his
back door and strip out of his t-shirt. He glanced around, once in her direction, then
toward the house on the other side of his own before stripping his pants off.
Underneath he wore shorts that should be illegal. She knew he’d been in the Marine
Corps before settling back in Hudson Creek and those were his…silkies or softies—or
some other ridiculous name. Whatever the damn things were called, they barely
covered his crotch and they put all sorts of bad thoughts in her mind. The man
obviously wore them to drive her insane. Every morning he was up at dawn and
jogging around the lake they lived on and showing off all sorts of taut, lean muscles and
tattoos. And she’d only discovered that by accident. She’d gotten up early one morning
six months ago and had seen him run by her place at the ungodly hour. Now mornings
were her favorite time of the day.
Seemed she was getting a double show today though. Apparently his morning
workout wasn’t enough and he was getting in some extra time tonight. Something told
her he had no clue she was watching. The light bulb on her back porch had blown
