City suit meets country roots when a NYC prosecutor falls for a down-on-her-luck rural single mom.

Charlotte

When I email my online friend for legal advice, the last thing I expect is for the sexy single dad to show up in this dinky town to help me. Or that I’d take one look at his stern face and want to climb Arden McRae like a tree.

Arden may be determined to win my heart, but stepping into his high-society world means more than blending my little rough-houser with his preppy angels.

For a future with Arden, I'll have to do more than bury my past. We'll have to face it. Together.

Arden

A suspiciously generous life-insurance policy was only the beginning.

Charlotte Miller doesn't know I've spent years searching for ways to make her smile. A full-ride scholarship to finish her degree? Pay no attention to the man behind the e-mail. The Secret Santa who fills her porch with presents and puts up that ridiculously over-sized tree in her yard every year? Ho! Ho! How did you not know it was me?

But Charlotte doesn't want me to save her. She needs me to see her. Now, I'm digging fence posts, fighting off the meanest (technically, the only) rooster I've ever met, and playing lawn games with pint-sized mobsters in the making.

But when secrets turn to shovels and midnight mysteries, the real question is: “How far will this uptight attorney go for Charlotte Miller?” The answer surprises even me.

Set in the 1990s, Ardently Yours is a swoony emotional rollercoaster with dark gray humor, steamy romance, a sprinkle of suspense, and kick-your-legs-and-giggle shenanigans between two single parents.
