Rating: 4.4
I help couples create the families of their dreams. Which is perfect, since I’ll never have a family of my own. But then I meet James. Tall and lean, with sun-kissed hair and skin…and those hands. I can’t keep my eyes off his hands. He’s everything I’m not – too kind, too compelling, and too cute for words. It doesn’t take long before his warm charm is melting my heart.
My world is turned upside down when I find myself named the temporary guardian to a niece I never knew I had. And James is ready and willing to help. Building bunk beds together is easy when he’s used to building houses. (Did I mention his hands? When I learn how much he wants to have a family of his own, I remember why a man as good as James should never be with a girl like me… Check out Mary Carson’s The Anything Series! #ad
