Publisher Description
“Powerful chemistry that makes this a winning page-turner.”—Publishers Weekly for Must Love Babies
Where do you go when you’re at the end of your rope?
Former Marine Tucker Wylder wants nothing more than to work with his brothers in their vintage car restoration business and be left alone with his nightmares and regrets. The last thing he needs is to take on someone else’s troubles…
Then Elisa Danvers and her young daughter arrive in Misty Bottoms, Georgia. Elisa has reached the end of the line—flat broke, engine trouble, sick in body and spirit. Tucker steps up to the rescue and finds himself reluctantly taking care of a feisty preschooler and her independent mother, who doesn’t seem to want his help. And Tucker isn’t sure he’s ready for the way precocious little Daisy and headstrong, beautiful Elisa herself capture first his bachelor household and finally his carefully guarded heart…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Austin's delightful second Bachelors and Babies contemporary (after Must Love Babies) is fast-paced and sensual. While driving through Misty Bottoms, Ga., single mom Elisa Danvers needs to get some work done on her car and stops in at the Wylder Brothers' car-restoration business. When Elisa passes out, former Marine Tucker Wylder catches her and helps calm her three-year-old daughter, Daisy. The local doctor decides to run some tests on Elisa that will take days, so Tucker invites Elisa and Daisy to stay with him. The sensual attraction sizzles between Tucker and Elisa, though he remains haunted by the guilt he feels for the deaths of his fellow Marines. When Elisa decides to stay on in town, she moves in with an older wealthy woman who offers her a business opportunity; Tucker's life seems empty without Elisa and Daisy in his house, but Elisa tries to keep her distance, fearing that secrets from her past will put him off. The ups and downs of Elisa and Tucker's relationships are powerful and convincing. Old-fashioned Southern charm adds the perfect touch to this rich and emotional romance.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
Sometimes all it takes is a word or a phrase jumping out from a blurb to reel you in. For me it was Misty Bottoms, Georgia.
This was a sweet romance between former Marine Tucker Wylder wants and single mum Elisa Danvers and her young daughter Daisy. Elisa is at the end of her rope with no-one she can depend on, until Tucker takes them under his protection.
The characters were likeable and easy to relate too and Daisy just about melted my heart on occasion. There were times that I thought my face would crack from the smiles and then there were times that it made me tear up.
The relationship that built between Tucker and Daisy was so heartwarming and made me smile.
A heart warming story that will surely tug on your emotions. Will Tucker and Elisa be able to put their pasts behind them and take a chance at happiness or are these lost and damaged souls destined to be alone forever?
