About the book
Between building a new house and caretaking his kid sister, hardworking Craig Russell had a full plate of obligations-and no room for his sumptuous next-door neighbor. Even if her gourmet cooking-and skimpy bikinis-did take his mouth water with hungers he'd too long denied....
No matter how spicy Ginger Brenan was, the delectable blonde had marriage in mind-and Craig did not consider himself husband fare, prime for the waiting jaws of wedlock! Still, Ginger happily helped him homemake, propped up his parenting skills-and proved herself a candidate for marital bliss. Just how much heat could a red-blooded bachelor take... before he became a hot-blooded husband in the making?
