J.D. Carver learned life's tough lessons on the streets, so when an unexpected inheritance sends him to the Star Lake Lodge to claim his half, he's expecting trouble. Being greeted with open arms by the whole Lawrence gang--feisty Aunt Sophie and calm Uncle Ben, clearly off-limits Dru and her young son, Tate--just convinces him they're working an angle, and he's determined to uncover it. Even though a tiny part of himlongs for the home-and-hearth life they have...
Dru's finally beaten her bad-girl reputation, and though life at the Lodge may not be exciting, she' fiercely protective of her quiet home. Hard-eyed J.D.'s ability to push all her buttons--some of which haven't been pushed in way too long--just proves how wrong he is for her. So why does her son hero-worship the guy? And why does her heart clench when he gets that "nose pressed against the candy shop window" look on his face?
They thought they knew everythikng their lives had to offer...until they met. Can a failed good girl and a guy who never caught a breaK learn to believe in one another long enough to trust their love?
