And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
Because I've long since liked and supported the BVC author's consortium for their sf/fantasy member selections, and am pleased to see them doing more of their sporadic promotional freebie giveaways (with a tie-in sale offer, no less!), even if it's in a genre I rarely read.
Enjoy!
Description
When sexy, buttoned-down numbers-guy Jeff gets sucked into Cecilia's sticky, single-mom universe, his life turns inside out. Her checkbook's a nightmare, her oldest kid hates him, and she's messy, mouth-watering, independent, and annoyingly unforgettable. He can't stay away.
Quirky Cecilia has her life (sort of) in order, and doesn't need a man pointing out where it's not. A single mom with three kids and a dog can't afford a sex life, even if he is hotter than ever, and strong just when she needs him to be.
Plus, his parrot hates her.
In this battle between order and chaos, between hostile kids and cranky parrots, between romance and responsibility, is heartbreak inevitable?
Or this time, can love win?
