"...a sexy romp with an undercurrent of emotion and familial devotion."
โEntertainment Weekly
The four very different Richardson sisters have one thing in common:** their fierce loyalty to their family and pride in the historic bed and breakfast they own. But unexpected desire will challenge them in ways they never imagined . . .
Sportswriter Nina Richardson had the perfect life away from her family's famous shadow. But a social media blowup and rejection by her boyfriendbrought her back to their peaceful Charleston, South Carolina B&B to figure out what went wrong. So there's no way she's going to trust the crazy-hot sparks flying between her and handsome new employee Clinton Jefferson. It's just reckless, rip-his-clothes-off, one-night-and-forget-it lustโright?
Fresh from working for the Richardsons' biggest rival, Clinton wants to show his modernization ideas aren't sabotage or a gimmick. Getting involved with the rebellious Nina means trouble for sureโbut he can't resist showing this stubborn, fiery woman how she should be loved. But false accusations and Nina's returned ex shake their passionโand fragile trustโto the core. Now between cascading obstacles and conflicting loyalties, can Clinton and Nina untangle what they really want in time?
"Hodges excels at portraying her trademark protagonistsโsmart, successful career womenโwith Nina and her siblings, and Clinton is as appealing as he is business savvy. Fans of Susan Mallery and Sheryl Woods will enjoy the keen and sexy launch of Hodges' Richardson Sisters series."
