β¦ Synopsis
Cam Booker learned the hard way that commitment and love arenβt for him. Fresh out of a relationship that nearly saw him go to jail, heβs focused on building a life and his business. But when he suddenly finds himself responsible for a motherless five-year-old, his world is turned upside down. What does he know about caring for a little girl? On top of that, his newest client, the notorious widow Banes is definitely the kind of trouble he doesnβt need.
Which is too bad for Cam. Because trouble is one thing that always seems to find him. And this kind of trouble could be disastrous.
Bluebell Banes hides behind a cool faΓ§ade of disinterest and money. Sheβs knows what the locals think of herβVegas showgirl hit it big when elderly David Banes married her. But they donβt know the pain she carries, or the past sheβs running from. They donβt know the desire Cam Booker stirs in her, or the yearning his little girl evokes. The man has her thinking of things she shouldnβt be thinking about. Forbidden things. Complicated things. Blue doesnβt do complicated. Itβs too much trouble and there are too many risks.
And the biggest risk of all is something sheβs guarded for years, her heart.
