Books like Moonlight and Shadows by Glenna McReynolds

The Thief of Hearts Who Kissed Away Her Tears... Jack Hudson blamed the harvest moon for driving him crazy enough to draw Lila Singer into his arms the night they met and kiss her breathless! He had no idea the enchanting young widow had relinquished her dreams of love when her husband died... and no way of knowing that her lips would weave such mesmerizing magic. Lila melted in his arms, excited by his strength, overwhelmed by the pleasure of his hands on her body, but she knew there could be only this sensual heat between them--they had nothing in common but a dangerous desire and a moonlit night. Still, it wasn't his body that weakened her resolve, but the way he made her feel when he held her. Jack tempted her to break the rules faster than she could remember them, but the intimacy he demanded filled her with doubt. Jack had never backed down from a challenge, but could he convince this brilliant, beautiful woman that a man who could build her a house could also craft a dream shed long to share?
