Braddock Brotherhood

A babysitter with benefits...a mechanic who can drive her wild...Finally! Kaylee Walsh has escaped her good-for-nothing ex and her small Tennessee hometown. She isn't about to let car trouble and zero cash throw a wrench into her plans. But Rick Braddock makes Kaylee an offer she can't refuse: free car repairs in exchange for a month of babysitting. He'll make sure she's on her way because he knows he doesn't stand a chance when a woman is blinded by big city lights. Even though she's hit a bump in the road, no way will Kaylee become attached to a hot single dad and his little girl. For her, it's South Beach or bust. But when Rick discovers what Kaylee's hiding he fears she may have stolen more than just his heart. Were the sparks between them real? Or is she a thief who took him for a ride? Warning: Sudden cravings for grape bubble gum and cherry Popsicles™ may occur.

To her forever is a lie. But, he's a forever kind of guy...Hayley Christopher's high-profile divorce has given her a healthy suspicion of "happily ever after." While she struggles to get her life back on track, temporary custody of her troubled nephew Fletcher highlights her every inadequacy. And, her new landlord is an old crush whose parenting skills put hers to shame. After the death of his wife, Ray Braddock walked away from his life. But now, he's back, rebuilding his business and thinking maybe he can even learn to trust again. He's drawn to Hayley-and the silent little boy at her side-even though he may never convince her three broken people could make a whole family. Hayley watches as Ray bonds with a silent Fletcher. Ray's patience and persistence overcome her resistance and erode the walls around her heart. Ray might be the one good choice she is finally ready to make. But, can she prevent Fletcher's gang-connected father from traumatizing him again and following through on his threats to destroy her and those she loves?

Even though they are worlds apart, Lesley can't resist Niko's warmth and understanding. But their relationship poses a threat to others, and if Lesley and Niko aren't careful, they could lose each other forever.
