It seems a lifetime ago that Brett Ackerman wanted to share his life with Ella Wales. He really believed he could put his abusive family history behind him…until he realized it would always be part of him. Then he pushed her away. Hard.
Now Ella's back as part of the High Risk Team at The Lemonade Stand, the unique women's shelter Brett founded. And she needs his help with a family crisis. But even now, Brett can't admit he still loves her. Until one night of passion with Ella turns Brett into the one thing he fears the most—a father.

I’ve recently discovered that I have an affinity with
plants. I sat down to write the first
book in the Where Secrets Are Safe series, Wife By Design, and the hero shows
up at The Lemonade Stand – the unique women’s shelter around which the series
is revolving – as a landscaper. Kind of
threw me for a loop. I know very little
about landscaping. I tried to convince
him he was something else. He kept
coming back as a landscaper. So I did
some research. Throughout the entire
writing of the book. My hero was
designing a Garden of Renewal and as I wrote, I wanted one. Badly.
I wanted a place where I could go sit and be surrounded by nature, by
beautiful plants and find serenity.
I live in a neighborhood.
With a not huge yard. It’s
Arizona. Unless you want to live in the
desert with the added joy of scorpions and rattlesnakes as roommates, you
pretty much have to live in a neighborhood with a not huge lot. No matter the size of your house.
I’ve also never been one to grow anything successfully. So I mostly haven’t tried. But I really wanted my own ‘Garden of
Renewal’. So I bought a plant. Six of them actually. Lantana.
I’d heard it was pretty much impossible to kill and I loved the golden
orange-red flower. I found an older
fountain. Painted it. I’m blessed to have a husband who’s good with
all manly things and he gave me underground electric from my fountain to the
barn where the on off switch lives. He
also gave me underground irrigation. I
designed my little garden. Put in my six
plants – all the same kind. I added a
special plaster fisherman who has emotional meaning to me. And a little garden flag just because it made
me smile when I saw it. That was almost
a year ago. My plants were eaten by
bunnies. Down to the dirt. If I looked carefully I saw nubs in the dirt. Maybe.
But I persevered. I kept
hoping. Said a little prayer that if the
bunnies would let my plants get big enough to survive, I’d share the bottom
flowers with them and be happy with the tops for my viewing pleasure. Last month, when the plants topped the bottom
of the fountain – and a two foot space around it as well – my husband installed
electric landscape lighting for me.
I’ve added Bougainvillea to my oasis. Two rose bushes that are both blooming this
week. Geraniums. And most recently, to the shepherd’s hook out
at the end of our driveway, a hanging plant.
Being at The Lemonade Stand, where secrets are safe, is very
good for me! The Good Father is book six
in this series. Brett Ackerman founded
The Lemonade Stand, but doesn’t trust it with his secrets. Still, he wants everyone to find acceptance,
support, and hopefully happiness and hope here, too. Whether for one book, or the nine so far in
the works, I hope you’ll give us a try.
