When Mercedes Kimball’s sister abandons her children, Mercedes takes in her confused niece and nephew, jeopardizing the job she loves at a retirement community. The sexy new handyman’s bedroom eyes promise to fix anything, but he can’t fix this.

L.C. Fogarty is trash, not Father Of The Year, but he’s happy to be Mercedes’s sounding board. Given their white-hot attraction, he’d love to see what they could do to a headboard, but he’s keeping a secret she won’t forgive. Confessing means facing untold heartache and going back to where he never belonged. He’d rather stay with Mercedes and her misfit family.

She might not get to keep that family, though. Which means she’s going to need him.

Such a great story!! I so want more! How about another book or two? I could really enjoy seeing Mercerdes & L.C. again … maybe in Zack’s story … and Porsha’s story??? 🙂 I adored seeing them overcome their past to actually get a life they deserved!

When Mercedes Kimball’s sister decides to take a “vacation” from her kids, she’s left with no option but to take them in and make her life work around them. It might end up getting her fired from her job at the retirement community that she loves, but she can’t just stand by and watch while these kids are neglected!

L.C. Fogarty winds up crossing paths with Mercedes through happenstance, and the red-hot attraction they both feel instantly is not easy to ignore! He takes the job of a temporary handyman, and they become friends. He doesn’t think he’s worth much in life, but she seems to take some comfort from bouncing problems off of him and getting his opinion, so he’s happy to help her if he can.

Mercedes might lose her ready-made family any day if her sister comes back, but L.C. enjoys sharing times with them more than he wants to deal with his own family issues. As they grow closer and secrets from his past come out, will she want to have anything more to do with him?

An instant billionaire wants revenge…and more!

Mason Harrington grew up as a rough-and-tumble stable boy. But a shocking inheritance enables him and his brother to return to their hometown and settle some scores. First on the agenda: take over the elite horse farm belonging to the woman who once broke Mason's heart when her daddy said he wasn't good enough.

Despite Mason's motives, EvaMarie Hyatt has no choice but to stay on at the ranch and work for him. Soon it becomes clear Mason wants more than revenge. Even more surprising: EvaMarie's willingness to succumb. But will new misunderstandings derail their renewed passion, or will this second chance lead to forever?

Revenge was more than he bargained for! A fast-paced book that takes us on the journey for revenge with the realization that he wants more! Great characters with an angst filled story. The only thing I wanted a little more of was more of was seeing him in his glory working with the horses and bringing the horse-racing more into the plot.

Mason Harrington has stewed for one thing for all of his adult life … revenge on those who ruined his father all those years ago. The inheritance he and his brother came into unexpectedly has given him the means to put that plan into action … and the second he hears the Hyatt estate could be his, he jumps at the chance.

EvaMarie Hyatt has never lived down the impact Mason had on her life, but the circumstances of her life left her with no strength to stand up for him, or even for herself. When Mason gets his revenge, she’s left with no option than to stay and work for him. Day in and day out of humiliation … but also so much temptation. Will she finally be able to step up and go for what she wants?
