From the moment I first saw him shirtless, with those rippled abs on full display and his grey sweatpants barely hanging off his muscular hips, my insides melted. But this desire I’m filled with is one I know can never be satisfied. Single dad Jaxson Brentwood doesn’t talk about the hard times. He’s lived them. Four years prior, he lost his wife in a tragic accident. Since then, he's been left to raise his daughters alone. His world is everything mine can never be. It doesn’t matter that our chemistry is off the charts. It doesn’t matter that Jaxson’s arms are the only ones I feel safe in. He and I are like oil and water – and while opposites clearly attract, I can’t believe there’d ever be a place for a girl like me in Jaxson’s world of foam dart battles and bedtime stories. Or, at least, that’s what I thought until we both dared open our hearts – and began wondering if, just maybe, we deserved a shot at love the second time around. Second Time Around is the first in Alandra Knight's Finding Our Forever series - emotionally intense tales of true love, featuring beautifully crafted characters overcoming the darkest odds to earn their happily-ever-after.

Xander Brentwood is practically the poster boy for "tall, dark, and handsome." Standing 6'3", with washboard abs and the biggest, brownest eyes I've ever seen, he's become the leading man in all my heated, torrid dreams of late. I know him, but I don’t know how I know him. I wish I could remember. But my memory isn’t what it used to be - not after surviving a fiery tragedy four years ago. I don't remember a second of it - but the accident changed my life forever, claimed the life of my unborn baby, and robbed me of every worthwhile memory I had. Even my memories of him. But now that I'm around this gorgeous, hard-working single dad, I feel the ghost of a barely-remembered something hanging like a forgotten thread - threatening to unravel both our lives if I keep tugging at it. But you can't hide the truth forever - and now that it emerges, I’ve come to wonder if everything else I've been ‘taught’ to remember since the accident might also be a lie. The only thing I am sure of is Xander - and that I’m handcuffed to this man in more ways than one. But how can I let myself disrespect the memory of my best friend by falling for her widowed husband? Handcuffed to You is the second book in Alandra Knight's heart wrenching Finding Our Forever series - beautifully crafted and emotionally intense tales of true love conquering impossible odds.

People say that time changes everything. That may be true on most things, except it isn’t changing one thing: my opinion on being single. I have my daughters, my family, I am good with life. I’ve always been one to make a decision and stay with it. Never wavering, no gray areas, no second guessing myself. Until one day the ghost of my past sits on the porch staring back at me. Now nothing is what it appears to be. Everything I’ve known up until now was a fallacy. This ghost has me questioning everything that I know. Running from the past isn’t something I can do. Having to join forces with an unusual source, I start to feel things I haven’t felt in a long time. But with a meddling ex-in-law, new business ventures, and the ghost of girlfriend past haunting us, the odds are not in our favor. Can we make this work with all that is stacked against us?

One look at Liam Brentwood, and I knew he'd be the kind of mistake I wouldn't regret making. On a girl's night out, he serves me a sinfully seductive cocktail right where I'd needed one most - and since that night, images of his toned muscles and hug-him-right jeans haven't left my late night fantasies. But Liam is off limits even if I was interested in dating again - which I'm not. I've got enough on my plate balancing a career and the needs of my two medically-challenged children - not to mention I'm still nursing the wounds from my failed marriage. But my heart's about as obedient as my defiant son, and it’s pleading with me to let his calm soothe the storm that rages deep within me. Open my heart back up and give into him and the possibility of love... ...but when my drama-loving ex-husband reenters the scene, the consequences of his actions puts both our families in turmoil. With loyalties tested, Liam and I have to decide if we have the courage to risk it all for a shot at love. Let Me Love You More is the fourth book in Alandra Knight's heart wrenching Finding Our Forever series - steamy and emotionally intense tales about finding the courage to give love a chance a second time around.
