If Jessamyn Carroll had only herself to consider, staying
in Pennsylvania after her husband’s death would have been
a no-brainer. Her vindictive in-laws’ efforts to get their
hooks into her infant son, however, force her to flee to a
new home. Konigsburg, Texas.
Peace…at least for now. She’s even found a way to make
some extra money, looking after sexy accountant Lars
Toleffson’s precocious two-year-old daughter. She finds it
easy—too easy—to let his protective presence lull her into
thinking she and her son are safe at last.
Lars, still wounded from enduring a nasty divorce from his
cheating ex-wife, tries to fight his attraction to the
mysterious, beautiful widow. But when an intruder breaks

the picture. Permanently.
Now Jess has a live-in bodyguard, whether she wants him or

negotiating a future together will have to overcome a lot
of roadblocks: babies, puppies, the entire, meddling
Toleffson family—and a kidnapper
