BLURB:
One
part happiness. Two parts love.
Relocating
to the coast of Florida after becoming guardian of her best friend’s twin
daughters could be the best move LA celebrity chef Jenna Monroe ever made. This
is her chance to create a stable, loving home − something she never had. But
can she be the mother the girls need?
Wyatt
Hamilton thinks she can. The rugged charter boat captain, who came home to
Cypress Pointe still grieving the death of his son, has faith in her. But the
feelings he awakens in Jenna both exhilarate and frighten her. Because Wyatt no
longer believes in forever... Unless she can convince him otherwise.

Excerpt:
Heels tapping against the stone path drew his attention from
the water. Wyatt turned, surprised and pleased to see Jenna walking his way.
Pleased indeed.
She held out a bottle. “You left this behind.”
“Thanks, but I don’t want it.”
She lifted a quizzical brow.
Did he really need to explain himself? Probably. A stubborn
part of him wanted to tell her to leave him alone, but the tired part of him
wanted to talk to someone. Talk to her. So he started, haltingly at first.
“When my son died, I thought it would be easy to get lost in
a bottle. You know, just forget.” He shoved his hands in his pants pockets and
shrugged in an attempt to make light of the situation. “Funny thing is, I don’t
really like to drink. So it never helped me
not remember Jamie.”
“That was your son’s name? Jamie?”
“Yes,” Emotion clogged his throat. “You’d think after two
years I could say my son’s name without getting choked up, but apparently not.”
“You miss him.”
“Every day with every breath.”
In the soft garden lighting, he saw Jenna’s rapid blinking.
Was she fighting back tears? See, she got it.
“He was a great kid,” Wyatt went on. “Full of life. Loved
adventure.”
“So Jamie wouldn’t want you to drown your sorrows in a
bottle.”
“Probably not any more than your friend would want you to.”
“Carrie,” she said just above a whisper. “My friend’s name.”
