GINA: The tiny old house I’m renting needs some work. I’ve been hounding my landlord to get the outside steps fixed, but he keeps putting me off. Which makes the hot shirtless guy working on my front walk a complete surprise. I lost my trust in men years ago, when my old boyfriend ditched me right after finding out I was pregnant. But Emmett is sweet as well as sexy. He lights up around my daughter . . . and he lights up around me. One unforgettable night with him shows me everything I want in life. Can I believe him when he says he’s in love with me? EMMETT: Fixing the front steps was just another job. But then I meet the person who lives behind those steps, and her adorable daughter. Falling for beautiful, curvy nurse Gina changes my life. I’ve suddenly realized what my heart’s been missing: a home with a family in it. One with a wife in it. A wife like Gina. Can she learn to trust me, when she’s been so badly hurt before?

Carly writes short romance stories as steamy and sweet as a triple-vanilla latte, served extra hot. If you’ve ever wished that a Hallmark™ movie showed what happened in the bedroom—in glorious technicolor detail—her books are for you! Grab your favorite hot beverage and join her for the fun. She loves chai, homemade mulled cider, Riesling and Beaujolais, and vanilla lattes (iced or extra-hot). Carly wrote her first love story at the age of ten, featuring tragic Romeo-and-Juliet deaths, and only much later discovered that she preferred stories where the lovers live, with happily-ever-after endings. She enjoys snuggling under blankets in the winter, and under the stars in summer. Loves kissing Mr. Right in exotic locations, as well as in their very own kitchen. She lives in Virginia with the love of her life and a goofball dog.
