When a strikingly handsome paramedic finds Kara Larsen's lost toddler, only to lecture her for failing to mind her child, Kara is embarrassed and relieved she’ll never have to deal with him again… no matter how good looking he is. Doesn’t he know being a single mom is a lot harder than it seems?! But when baby Nadia has trouble breathing one night, Kara’s frantic 911 call brings that same intense first responder right to her door… NYFD paramedic Reid Bennett has a compulsion to help frantic parents. But after the way he reacted to the beautiful woman in the department store that day, she wants nothing to do with him. But when they bump into each other for the third time in a week, they both know there’s a spark that can’t be ignored… And Reid thought he had no interest in long-term commitment. But when Nadia’s father calls out of the blue, Reid realizes he has some triage to do if he hopes to keep his girls… Summer in New York series Book 1: His Touch by Patty Blount Book 2: His Kiss by Jolyse Barnett Book 3: His Love by Jennifer Gracen

And just when she thinks it can’t get any better, the mysterious stranger she kissed on a moonlit resort beach walks back into her life. But when Jeremy’s old demons return, it’s up to Elizabeth to show him they’re not so different after all… Summer in New York series Book 1: His Touch by Patty Blount Book 2: His Kiss by Jolyse Barnett Book 3: His Love by Jennifer Gracen

His Love

2015

Toni Westmore doesn’t do relationships. She has a demanding boss at her high end Soho art gallery job and an even more difficult and critical mother—who needs the mess of a relationship? Enter Irish Doctor Gavin McKinnon, her friend’s brother, also known as the perfect summer fling: tall, muscled, smart, funny, definitely ready for a good time and stamped with an expiration date. He’ll go back to Ireland and his family medical practice in a few weeks and she’ll return to her real world and plan her next career move. Gavin’s in town not only to visit his sister, but to try and heal his broken heart. He gets a little help when Toni, his sister’s friend and roommate, enters the picture. Inexplicably drawn to her, Gavin tries to remind himself to look but not touch, but Toni is hard to resist… and when she offers him a no strings fling, how could he say no? But as Gavin’s departure date looms, Toni realizes that her sexy summer fling is anything but. And she was sure she could kiss Gavin goodbye with no regrets… Will she attempt to break their no strings rule? Or will Gavin leave Long Island without looking back?
