Author Description

You met "Big" Bo Daniels in Counting On It, but you don't know the real man. He loves his "little brother," Seth, and will do whatever it takes to keep him safe and happy. When Seth needs a father figure, Bo steps in--even spending a weekly family day with the teenager and his aunt. Although he has no time for his girlfriend and is so tired he makes a major mistake at work, Bo won't give Seth up. Jan Sellers didn't know she had a nephew until Child Services asked her to take him. Now, she can't imagine life without Seth. But, then Bo's girlfriend goes too far and verbally harms the boy, who suffered years of abuse before coming to his aunt. Jan is disappointed when Bo doesn't tell her, so there will be no more family time. Why not? It was all make-believe, anyway. Everything changes when Jan's mother, a recovering alcoholic, shows up. When the older, wealthy widow passes muster with child services and makes it clear she wants to raise her grandson, Jan panics. She can't lose him. So, she doesn't correct her mom's assumption that the man Seth constantly speaks of is Jan's boyfriend. And when Bo shows up, after a confusing kiss, he plays along. The two of them are a team again, and they'll do anything to keep the boy they love with Jan. Anything--even provide him with a two-parent home. A temporary marriage, just until Seth reaches 18. But, can a man and woman who enjoy those pretend kisses a little too much really keep their hearts out of the deal? And if they fall in love, to what lengths will Bo's girlfriend go in order to get back the man she never wanted to give up? They'll face off against anybody who tries to take Seth away from them, but some battles aren't possible to win. Even when love is involved.
