About this eBook

 Tanner Harlow is a talented landscape designer, quietly building a name and a solid future when he finds himself needing to be the temporary guardian to his eleven-year-old half-sister. Tanner loves her, but can’t see himself as a father figure or imagine how he’s going to build his business during his busiest season with a child in tow until his newest client—his high school crush who still makes his heart pound—has a proposition that will help them both as long as Tanner can resist the tempting lure of the girl next door.

Elementary school teacher Francie Tate moved back to Marietta to be close to her ailing father. She plans to settle in and fix up her little bungalow before the school year starts, but definitely needs help with the neglected yard. She’s shocked when the landscaper she hired turns out to be a class mate. Tanner used to be shy in school, but he isn't the same kid anymore–he’s tall, sexy, and has the most striking brown eyes she's ever seen. When Francie learns of Tanner’s need for child care, she impulsively offers to watch his half-sister for the summer in return for some landscaping and renovations around the house.

It seems like a win-win, but Francie didn’t bargain on falling in love.

Ratings and reviews

Easy to read, sensitively written, beautiful & heart warming. I liked how Tanner & Francie through their growing love for each other were able to come into their own

A good story about how dysfunctional parents can make it hard for children to become great adults. It is also a story of a love that had a second chance. It is also a story that families should stick together.

Why does love have to be complicated for Tanner? Tanner young and single, has just taken temporary custody of his half sister, who is eleven. His sister would like to make this permanent but Tanner does need see himself as a full time father. Tanner has also has reconnected with his high school crush, Francie who has just moved back to Marietta. Loved these characters, they all showed such emotions. They all showed such growth in their personal lives and finally finding their HEA. I did not want to see this book end. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I highly recommend.
