SINGLE MOM STUCK IN BATHTUB!Cass Gambrel groaned at the memory of Rafe Santini coming to the rescue! The infuriating man had freed her with a gleam in his eyes that said, "I'm interested… but not in commitment." Well, Cass sure didn't need a man like that. Rafe knew women just weren't happy until every man in town was wearing a wedding ring!But he had no intention of getting caught in that trap. Still, something about Cass had this bachelor losing sleep and wondering if it was time to end his wandering ways… .
