A Man With a Past
When an unexpected inheritance sends J.D. Carver to the Star Lake Lodge
to claim his half, he's expecting trouble. Being greeted with open arms
by the whole Lawrence gang--feisty Aunt Sophie and calm Uncle Ben,
clearly off-limits Dru and her young son, Tate--just convinces him
they're working an angle, and he's determined to uncover it. But a tiny
part of him longs for the home-and-hearth life they have.
A Woman With a Reputation
Dru's finally beaten her bad-girl reputation, and though the Lodge may
not be exciting, she's fiercely protective of her quiet home. Hard-eyed
J.D.'s ability to push all her buttons just proves how wrong he is for
her. So why does her son hero-worship the guy? And why does her heart
clench when he gets that "nose pressed against the candy shop window"
look on his face?
