About the book
The last thing Lauren McNabb wanted was another child to care for—not after she'd raised her six siblings.
The last thing Jack Mason wanted was another woman to come into his daughter's life, then leave. But when Jack showed up to renovate her Yellow Rose Lane apartment with his three-year-old in tow, Lauren fell for little Ally—and the handsome carpenter. But he didn't want "The Shark," as she was known in legal circles, around his child. Lauren was certainly beautiful, and after years of being alone, he thought kissing her felt like heaven.
But could the workaholic attorney go back to her busy career and still be a mother...as well as a wife?
