Tough Going

She’s at the end of her rope. He’s landed in deep water. When danger ignites their passions, can they survive the flames?

Allison Walton refuses to be anyone’s charity case. Fiercely independent since childhood, she’s determined to run her catering business and care for her aging father all by herself… even if she has to max out her credit. But when her neighbor’s handsome grandson offers a helping hand in the aftermath of a life-threatening accident, she can’t help but give in to his irresistible charms.

Derrick Moss bends over backwards for the ones he loves. Between building skyscrapers during the day and coming to his friends’ rescue afterhours, he has no time to follow his own desires. But when Allison steals his heart, for once he isn’t afraid to fight for what he wants… both in and out of the bedroom.

Torn between asserting their dominance and falling in love, their romance takes a dangerous detour into criminal territory. With lives hanging in the balance, can Allison and Derrick learn to trust each other before their dreams for the future go up in smoke?

Tough Going is a sizzling contemporary romance with dark undertones. If you like headstrong heroines, steamy sex scenes, and dark intrigue, then you’ll love Trixie More’s passionate page-turner.
