Homespun
Ashley A. Quinn · Pine Ridge #5
A newly arrived woman becomes a divorced single dad's temporary nanny — and unexpected reason to love again.
Description
One thing Alice Duvall has learned in her twenty-nine years is that change is a part of life. And that it's not always a bad thing. So, when an opportunity to move closer to her brother presents itself, she jumps on it and leaves her hometown behind to be closer to family. In Pine Ridge less than a day, she's thrown for a loop when she meets handsome fire inspector, Wade Kaczmarek. His serious, intelligent hazel eyes and delicious muscles draw her in and make her want to learn more. As a divorced single dad, Wade was sour on the idea of love and relationships. He has no desire to repeat his failed marriage. A year after his divorce, he and his children are happy in their new home, and he didn't think they needed anything more.Then, during a routine inspection of a fire suppression system at the Stone Creek Ranch, Alice Duvall walks into the barn. Feelings he never thought he would have again rise up and smash his carefully ordered life to bits. He tries to keep his distance, but when he loses his babysitter temporarily to an injury, Alice is the only one who has the time to take on the role full time. Now, he can't avoid her or the emotions she's brought back to life, no matter how hard he tries.Can an unexpected attraction lead to a lifetime of happiness?
