“Incredible.”

Dean’s hand comes up to stroke my hair. He’s obsessed with it, but I don’t mind at all. It feels so good to have him play with it and run his fingers through it.

“You know what would feel even better?” I murmur, giving him a cheeky smile.

“What?”

“If you’d help me get in position so we can cuddle.”

“Say no more.”

Dean helps me roll onto my side so my head is cushioned on his arm. Lifting my top leg, he drapes it over his, adjusting it until I let out a soft sigh of contentment.

“Good?”

“Great.”

His lips find the top of my head. “Thank you, beautiful.”

“Shouldn’t that be my line?” I tilt my head up to look at him, my hand coming up to stroke his cheek.

“Nah. You gave me a gift. And I will always treasure that. Just like I’ll always treasure you.” His hand takes mine, and he lifts it so he can press a kiss to my palm. “I love you, Riley.”

I feel my eyes brim with happy tears as I look at the man who I just know will be by my side forever.

“I love you, too.”

KARA KENDRICK

Unexpected

She’s a soon-to-be single mom.

He’s the local, hot AF contractor.

Could a beach house reno turn into a forever home?

I’m not sure which is the biggest shock—being cheated on by my soon-to-be ex-husband or inheriting my estranged aunt’s house on the shores of Seaglass Beach, Florida.

When a chance encounter with the town’s hot-as-hell—and much younger—contractor has me ready to renovate, suddenly I’m rethinking all my life choices.

But will my messy past make me and my life too big of a fixer-upper for even the very best contractor in town?

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a married woman in possession of a wealthy, philandering husband, must be in want of a good divorce lawyer.
