It's been five years since Lacey Burnham saw Sean Logan, and in that time her son Calvin's best friend has turned from a surly youth into a handsome, self-assured young man. Crushed with grief over Cal's sudden death, Lacey offers Sean a place to stay while he's in town-an innocent proposal that quickly becomes anything but. Lacey is stunned and confused by the yearning he ignites with a single kiss... Beautiful, warmhearted Lacey Burnham was a haven of comfort in Sean's troubled youth. Now, against every shred of logic she possesses, Lacey is falling hard for Sean and for a heady carnal bliss she's never experienced before. But the ghosts of the past are waiting. And sooner or later, every shadow must face the light of day.

For Carla, her mother's voice inside her head rings a little too true. The reason she's dateless yet again can be summed up in two words-Leo Spencer. But he's off limits. Not only is he six years younger-just out of college, for crying out loud-he's also her best friend's younger brother. Getting involved with Leo would be a mistake. But it would be so nice to run her fingers through his dark hair. Carla has been a key participant in Leo's.ahem.steamier fantasies for years, but she's always treated him like a kid brother. Good thing Leo welcomes a challenge, because coaxing Carla into bed might be the biggest one he's ever faced.

An instant family wasn't what David had planned for his life, but once he met single mother Lucy he knew he had to change his plans. Fifth grade teacher David Storm has had it up to here with one of his students. Lately the boy's attitude has changed. He is obnoxious and rowdy, unable to sit still for five seconds, and is constantly interrupting to ask questions that have nothing to do with the subjects they're studying. The boy's twin brother is just the opposite-so quiet that it has David worried. He calls their mother and tells her he needs to speak with her, setting in motion a whole set of events he never could have imagined. Lucy Parker knows what her boys are trying to do-and she doesn't approve. Since her divorce from their father three years ago, the eleven-year-olds have been trying to set her up with every single man in the tri-county area. They mean well, but she isn't looking for love. She's got enough trouble raising four rambunctious boys, and she doesn't need to add someone else to the list. Especially not their latest choice-their very handsome yet way-too-young-for-her teacher. Warning: This book contains monogamous sex scenes using some graphic language.
