California Dreaming: The Davenports, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

Meet the Davenport family! Six brothers and sisters who call picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea home. Successful, brilliant, and passionate, the only thing each of them needs is the perfect partner in love and life.

Hotshot movie star Archer Davenport has never met a stunt he couldn't ace, a challenge he couldn't overcome, or a woman he couldn't have. When he breaks his leg during a dangerous stunt, the production company insists on hiring a live-in caretaker for him. He refuses the help… until he meets Tessa Taylor. She's not only caring and beautiful, she's also as tough on him as a drill sergeant.

Tessa knows all about confident men. She used to be married to one and that didn't go well. Her only solace is her painting, even if she has no talent, as her late husband always claimed. Her biggest problem on this job, however, is that sexy, magnetic Archer makes her toes curl with desire every time he's near. She does everything she can to try to remain professional. But it gets harder and harder every day as she starts to fall for him—and for his amazing family—even though she knows she'll have to leave him for her next client as soon as he's fully recovered.

Arch, however, has no plans to let Tessa disappear once his leg is fully recovered. As the sparks between them grow hotter and hotter, he's determined to show Tessa that she's not only the most incredible and loving woman he's ever known, she's also the most talented.

California Dreaming is part of New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Nicky Arden's emotional and sexy contemporary romance series. While it can be listened to as a standalone, you'll likely enjoy the other books too.
