The Mommy Makeover
Bonnie K. Winn
From power-suited businesswoman…Teaching the delectable Katelyn Amberst the ultimate lesson had been just a game to Finn–at first. He'd charmed his lovely employer into becoming his wife and mother to his precocious children.

Her husband's eyes hinted at secrets–but they also spoke of a passion that could turn their hasty marriage into a loving match for all time.
They were worlds apart, but the night brought them together…

“You can have it.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“Yes, it is. Or it could be. It’s a beautiful night, you’re a beautiful woman and I’m asking.”
“Asking?”
“You to marry me.” Finn held his breath. “I want you to be my wife….”
