As a single dad and a partner in the family construction company, Eddie Montesano’s days are jammed. Then he discovers his son Max’s teacher is none other than Harper Kavanagh. Gorgeous and smart, single mom Harper is even more captivating than she was in high school. Plus it’s clear she’s dedicated to helping Max with his learning issues. How can Eddie resist making time for her?

Too bad there are clear rules limiting the relationship he and Harper have. But with their attraction out of control, Eddie is about to break those rules. Because if it means the chance at a future with her, he’ll take the risk of getting caught!

Harper laughed, a surprisingly deep, husky laugh

Eddie realized it was the first time he’d heard her laugh, the sound grating pleasantly along his nerve endings.

But having her laugh at him wasn’t funny.

“What?” he growled.

She shook her head. “It’s just…you keep surprising me.”

He studied her through narrowed eyes, figured she was telling the truth. He was edgy and amped up, worried about his son, and he hadn’t reacted to a woman this strongly in longer than he could remember.

Couldn’t remember the last time a woman had captured his thoughts. Had slipped into his dreams.

He edged closer, gratified and relieved when she didn’t back up, just smiled at him. “You like surprises?” he asked, his voice gruff.

Her grin widened. “Love them.”

“Good,” he said.

Then he leaned in to kiss her.

Dear Reader,

I’m having such fun writing the stories in the In Shady Grove series. When I initially came up with the idea for the first book in the series, Talk of the Town (April 2013), I knew very little about the secondary characters. Now, having finished three In Shady Grove stories and starting a fourth, I’m constantly discovering new insights into the people who call Shady Grove home.

For instance, while I knew that Eddie Montesano, the middle son of the Montesano clan, was quiet and a bit shy, I had no idea he was so stubborn! Or that when he does speak, he usually manages to say the right thing.

I also knew that single mother Harper Kavanagh was a teacher and a recent widow. She was supposed to be sweet and perhaps a bit naive. Instead, she stormed onto the scene ready to take on the world—but afraid of moving on too quickly after the loss of her beloved husband. It was a conflict I hadn’t planned on, but one that so moved me and seemed so real, I had no choice but to write it.

Yes, Eddie and Harper were full of surprises, taking me in different directions than I’d planned. I wouldn’t want it any other way. After all, I may have drifted off the road I’d mapped out, but the destination remained the same: Happy Ever After.

Next year brings three more In Shady Grove stories—I hope you’ll look for them! Keep an eye on my website, www.bethandrews.net (http://www.bethandrews.net), for publication details. Or drop me a line at beth@bethandrews.net. I’d love to hear from you.

Happy reading!
