Olivia

My son and I moved to Willowdale for a fresh start.  But life doesn’t always go according to plan.  Our bed and breakfast is failing, and my hopes are sinking.

​

I need new customers.  Fast.

​

Too bad I have a busted stove and a third floor that’s more bare walls than bed.  I have three months to finish renovations before my B and B’s feature on the hot, new travel website.  Nothing will distract me from finishing and giving my business the boost it needs.

​

Until Ben Morris walks through the door. 

​

He’s a sexy paleontologist with a chip on his shoulder the size of a brontosaurus and a hate for the small town I’ve grown to love.  

​

Ben

I’d vowed to never return to Willowdale.  But my baby brother needs my help.

​

I’ll do anything to protect him—even if it’s from himself and even if that means returning to the place of my nightmares. 

​

But I wasn’t expecting Olivia Price. 

​

A woman with intelligence and drive that matches my own.  She might be my perfect woman, but I have a brother to save and a book to finish so I can get the hell out of Willowdale for good.

​

Except, spending time with Olivia and her son soothes my soul in a way I never thought possible. 

​

I don’t have the first clue how to be in a functional family, so why am I suddenly longing to be a part of theirs?
