Publisher Description
Two single parents and three adorable kids are about to have a summer they'll never forget in this sexy, heartwarming new novel of the New York Times bestselling series.
Following the sudden death of his wife, Nathan Bell spent nearly two years burying himself in work and neglecting his biggest responsibility: his daughter. Overcome with guilt, he wants to connect with little Marley, but he doesn't know how to do it alone. And then Jenna Savage throws him a lifeline.
A single mum of twins, Jenna is more than capable of taking care of Nathan's adorable two-year-old and wants to help Nathan however she can. As the days go by and her attraction to Nathan grows, she can't help wondering what might happen if they became a family for real. And the closer everyone becomes, the more right it feels.
Falling in love forces Nathan to face his biggest fear, and when hearts - both big and little - are on the line, the only thing scarier than needing Jenna and her kids so much is losing them all.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Daniels (the Alabama Summer series) rounds out her Dirty Deeds series with this middling single-parent romance. Workaholic restaurant owner Nathan Bell has been struggling since his wife committed suicide two years ago, leaving him alone with their newborn daughter, Marley. His parents stepped in to raise Marley, but they're done with covering for him, so he needs a contingency plan. Luckily, Jenna Savage and her adorable eight-year-old twins, Olivia and Oliver, come to his rescue. Jenna offers to watch Marley while looking after her own kids, and soon sparks are flying between Jenna and Nathan. They acknowledge their attraction, but they both have more than a few past scars keeping them from fully giving away their hearts, and they also need to consider how their kids might feel about them starting to date. Some plot twists and obstacles meant to keep the couple apart sometimes feel a little forced, and the juxtaposition of Nathan and Jenna's sexual relationship with their business relationship is disconcerting, but the payoff is worth the wait. The children truly make this novel shine, all the way to the family-size happy ending.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
I know this is hard to believe but this is the first book I have read from J. Daniels and I have no idea why that is.
Where do I start? This was a well written, emotional roller coaster of a read that had me totally invested from the first to the last chapter in the lives of Nathan Bell, Jenna Savage and their children.
I love single parent stories and when I read the blurb and found that both the hero and heroine were single parents I couldn’t wait to read this book.
Nathan has neglected his 2 year old daughter Marley since the sudden death of his wife and is struggling on numerous levels. Jenna wants to help and feelings soon come in to play.
Will Nathan be brave enough to take another chance on love and happiness, or will his fears hold him prisoner?
This book brought me to tears, made me laugh, made me smile and above all else, made me feel.
Simply put, I loved it and will be reading more from J. Daniels as soon as time permits.
