He should keep his hands off the innocent temptress, a wife is not part of the plan.

But when the criminal plaguing their new business, threatens her, he has a choice.

Keep his plans or keep her. The decision should be easy…

REVIEW

I liked the main characters, Ken and Mirabelle, though I didn’t feel there wasn’t much character development. States this is book 1 but I got a feeling that the book picks up from another and a backstory is sort of missing. I adored Mirabelle’s brothers and their raucousness. Sounds like it will be an interesting series.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tammy Andresen lives with her husband and three children just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She grew up on the Seacoast of Maine, where she spent countless days dreaming up stories in blueberry fields and among the scrub pines that line the coast. Her mother loved to spin a yarn and Tammy filled many hours listening to her mother retell the classics. It was inevitable that at the age of 18, she headed off to Simmons College, where she studied English literature and education. She never left Massachusetts but some of her heart still resides in Maine and her family visits often.
