A surprise single dad, small town romantic suspense…
I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep.
So, imagine my surprise when my doorbell rings and I open it to find the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen standing on the other side.
And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.
Emery tells me her sister, the child’s mother, is dead.
I feel like dirt since she’s a woman I can hardly remember, and it’s no wonder Emery doesn’t trust that I’m worthy of caring for her niece.
But I can’t turn my back, and I insist on raising Maci.
So, we strike a deal—she’ll stay with me for one month to ensure the little girl is safe.
Emery tries to hate me for who I am, but neither of us can resist the attraction that blazes between us.
One brush of her hand, and she has me on my knees.
One kiss, and I’m falling fast.
Soon, we find ourselves tangled in my sheets.
But when it’s discovered her sister’s death wasn’t accidental, the secret life I’ve been living collides with the past Emery has tried to keep hidden.
And when the fiends come back to finish the job they started, I’m in a race against time to save the two people who I’ve come to love most…
You shouldn’t look at me that way, Emery.”
“What way am I looking at you?”
“Like you want to surrender.”
Swoon. When I tell you that AL Jackson can write one hell of an MMC, this is what I mean. Kane Asher is the epitome of a tortured character. I loved him so much.
Now do I love a surprise pregnancy trope? No. Do I like it even less when it’s not the FMC’s baby? Yes. But if anyone can make me love it, it’s this author. And I was honestly blown away at just how well it worked in this story. Kane is a lone wolf and doesn’t spend more than a night with a woman. So imagine his surprise when he learns he has a daughter he knew nothing about and the woman to deliver the news is the sister of the mother who tragically passed away.
Now Emory took me a minute to warm up to. She was so hard on Kane and judged him so much that it was frustrating at parts. I understand her rationale but it was just too much of it also.
The story itself was gripping and Jackson writes a suspense like no other. It had twists and turns, it had chemistry galore, and it was another fantastic installment in one of my favorite series.
