Can't Resist Her

Two very determined women—in love, at odds, and risking a lot on a second chance.

After years away from home, Summer Graves is back in Austin, Texas, to accept a new teaching position. Of all the changes to the old neighborhood, the most dispiriting one is the slated demolition of the high school her grandmother founded. There’s no way she can let developers destroy her memories and her family legacy. But the challenge stirs memories of another kind.

On the architectural team revitalizing the neighborhood, hometown girl Aiko Holt is all about progress. Then she sees Summer again. Some things never change.

Neither can forget the kiss they shared at their senior-year dance. Neither can back down from her unwavering beliefs about what’s right for the neighborhood.

For now, the only thing Summer and Aiko are willing to give in to is a heat that still burns. But can two women with so much passion—for what once was and what could be—agree to disagree long enough to fall in love?

Kianna Alexander has always been something of a dreamer. Raised among the Carolina pines, she routinely read fifteen or more books a week and was always thirsty for more. Her vivid imagination eventually led her to spin tales of her own. Kianna published her first novel in 2009 and has been publishing steadily ever since. Her passion for building empathy through fiction shows in her writing, and she truly believes literature can have a profound and positive impact on people’s lives.

Kianna is also a mother of two; a dabbler in various crafts; and a lover of random trivia, music, white wine, and sunrises on the beach. She lives in the western US with her children, her partner, the world’s highest-maintenance cat, and a precocious pup. For more information visit www.authorkiannaalexander.com.
