I am a badass. I can do this. I don’t need anyone. Really. Especially not Craig Benoit.
Blue ~ I escaped my abusive mom and survived living on the streets. When I was seventeen, I met my fairy-godfather, Saul, and he changed my life. But the fairytale didn’t last, so I did what I do best. I ran. But now Saul’s dead and I need to go home. I just hope my heart can withstand one more loss.
Craig ~ Blue Taylor was everything I never knew I dreamt of. Nothing like the skinny, blonde society girls I’m expected to date. Burgundy hair, black leather, and a foul mouth. I thought we had a shot but somehow, we screwed it up. Uncle Saul’s death means she’s back in my life. And Saul’s decided to make it difficult for us. We’ll need to fix what’s broken but just because I believe in happily ever after, doesn’t mean she does.
He’s famous. I’m not.
He’s drop-dead gorgeous. I’m not that either.
He has a mansion in the hills. I live in a mobile home park.
What in the hell does an NHL star want with a recovering alcoholic, single mom?
I’ve worked my butt off to make my custom woodworking business a success. Working with construction crews, I’ve been called all kinds of misogynist names but none of that has ever bothered me. I’ve got my Women’s Work family and I don’t listen to those assholes.
So why does the super-hot general contractor who keeps calling me Princess Sparkly Pony make me so homicidal?
I lost everything to the Owen Fire. My home, my business, my entire hometown. Oh yeah, and that asshole ex-boyfriend stole my life’s savings.
Nothing in the last year has been convenient. Rebuilding my life in a new town and I don’t have time for distractions. And the hunky ex-con I just hired? He’s a distraction.
But that panty dropping kiss rocked my world. And his excuse?
It was convenient.
I am his boss. I am his sister’s guardian. I am not, however, convenient.
