Publisher Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…
Brian “Boomer” Ward believes in sheltering strays. After all, the men and women of McKay-Taggart made him family when he had none. So when the kid next door needs help one night, he thinks nothing of protecting her until her mom gets home. But when he meets Daphne Carlton, the thoughts hit him hard. She’s stunning and hardworking and obviously in need of someone to put her first. It doesn’t hurt that she’s as sweet as the cupcakes she bakes.
Daphne Carlton’s life revolves around two things—her kid and her business. Daphne’s Delights is her dream—to take the recipes of her childhood and share them with the world. Her daughter, Lula, is the best kid she could have hoped for. Lula’s got a genius-level intelligence and a heart of gold. But she also has two grandparents who control her access to private school and the fortune her father left behind. They’re impossible to please, and Daphne worries that one wrong move on her part could cost her daughter the life she deserves.
As Daphne and Boomer find themselves getting closer, outside forces put pressure on the new couple. But if they make it through the storm, love will just be the icing on the cake because family is the real prize.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
Customer Reviews
Loved Boomer so much!
Boomer was amazing! I adored everything about him. His love of animals, how he protects and heals any animal that needs it. His incredible generosity and kindness. He's the first guy to help anyone in need, even if they aren't a nice person. I found that to be amazing. To look past a rude person and still see someone who needs help. My favorite thing about him is how he was with Lou, the heroine's daughter. He was so good to Lou right from the beginning. I don't see many heroes like this and sure wish there were more. Daphne, the heroine was such a good mom. She put up with so much to make sure Lou was taken care of. She couldn't have done better than Boomer for her and Lou. For a kid, Lou was also a really fun character to get to know. She's genius level IQ and I loved how her mind worked. When she connected with Tag's kids (main hero in book one) she really came to life. And of course seeing Tag, his kids and a whole bunch of other series characters made this story so much more. I love these guys!
