Party of Three

Ally Cummings may be the only "normal" one in her family, but her love life is anything but. No sooner does she find a stable, secure, predictable guy than she wants out. She's through with romance until she can figure out what kind of man is right for her.

Certainly not her new tenant, Ben Gillard, who is the exact opposite of everything Ally's looking for. Suits him just fine. He's sworn off a social life so he can be a full-time dad to his twelve-year-old-son, Danny. And he doesn't need any more women "organizing" his life, especially not the uptight and prim Ally.

It's agreed-platonic friends is as far as this will go. Except it's not just his skill with a saute pan that's creating the sizzle between them....

What does it take to become a family?

Nina Kennerly has a full life, but she' s always regretted giving her daughter up for adoption and losing Reid Robertson, her first love. Now her grown daughter has found her–with her own baby girl in tow!–and Nina must face Reid again.

Nina and Reid are determined to be there for their new family. But spending so much time together brings back a lot of complicated feelings. And complicated is not something Reid, a widower with another daughter, needs. Are Nina and Reid just dredging up the past…or are they actually making a future?
