About this book

"Single mom Lizzie Bea Carpenter knows no white knight will save her. A hardworking waitress at the local diner, she's raising her daughter to be like the independent women in her 'Enemy Club'--high school rivals turned best friends, who always tell each other the whole truth and nothing but! Yet part of Lizzie wishes she did have a man's help, just for things like fixing up the house. Enter Dante 'Tay' Giovanni: sexy, kind, and offering assistance--no strings attached. Slowly, steadily, Lizzie's heart opens. But the grip of the past is fierce, and nothing in life is ever really free. Tay has his own tragedies to overcome, but if he can, he'll fix more than Lizzie's home. He'll show her just how sweet it is to [be] loved by him."--P. [4] of cover.

"Mallory Brenner's life was in a tailspin. Her son, Nick, had been diagnosed with a fatal disease and his best hope of survival was Dr. Kent Berger, the one man Mallory never expected--or wanted--to see again. For more than ten years Mallory had kept Nick's paternity a secret and now, to save her son, Mallory would continue to keep it. Still, the more time the two males spent together, the harder Nick fell for his newfound hero...and the more Mallory realized how much she'd missed him. Kent deserved to know the truth, but while her son's life hung in the balance, could she risk telling him? Could she risk not telling him?"--Book description.
