But Daisy, a spirited beauty with a tragic past, needs this orphaned 10-year-old boy to love. She's confident she can handle her bullheaded father (the self-appointed town patriarch), her two bossy brothers, a concerned pastor, and social services. The only real obstacle is...that man. That man is Tommy's uncle, Walker Ames, a tough D.C. cop whose ex-wife gave up on him as a husband and father years ago. Perhaps this unexpected nephew is Walker's chance to redeem his failure as a family man. Soon he's commuting to the charming fishbowl of a town where everyone assumes he's seduced Daisy Spencer, their best Sunday school teacher. But to Walker, Daisy is a disconcerting mix of smart-mouthed innocence and wicked temptation. For Daisy, Walker, and Tommy, a long, hot summer in the town that's not as sleepy as it seems offers a second chance at family. less

When Bobby Spencer finds a carousel horse and an armed guard in his front yard, he's the talk of Trinity Harbor, Virginia. Urban planner Jenna Pennington Kennedy was desperate to capture Bobby's attention and convince him to offer her the chance to plan the town's new riverfront development. The stubborn and all-too-sexy property owner doesn't want a single mom in his life, but love has a way of defying expectations.

When Sheriff Tucker Spencer comes home to find his ex-girlfriend naked in his bed, it's clear that things in Trinity Harbor are about to heat up. Liz Chandler left Tucker six years ago to marry a lying, cheating politician. Now her husband has been murdered and she needs Tucker's help to prove her innocence. Liz knows only two things: one, she did not murder her husband and two, leaving Tucker was the biggest mistake of her life.
