[BookStrand Contemporary Romance]
It's too much. Katherine goes from single and sharing an apartment with two roommates to being a mother to her orphaned niece. With no other family, it's just her and Jodi. Short of money, and knowing the night job she holds will put additional trauma on her niece, Katherine seeks a live-in domestic position.
Ross Huntington has just finished with the last of a series of unsatisfactory baby sitters. He's raising his two boys by himself, and while he has family support he hates having to depend entirely on his parents to provide child care.
They need each other, and what they can offer each other seems ideal except these two people attract attention. They're young, beautiful and no one in Ross's home town is going to believe Katherine is just the nanny. Solution: Marriage. Rules: In name only.
"I carried this story around in my head for years before I finally wrote it. I wanted the emotion and characters to carry the story and the plot to support them. I hope that long after its read the reader will remember Ross and Catherine." ~ Lavada ~

Excerpt
STORY EXCERPT
the time he turned into the drive of the old house, he’d built up a real head of steam. He knew it might have been wise to call her cell, but most of the time she didn’t hear it and if that happened it would only further fuel his anger. Sure enough, her car was parked in the drive. “For Pete’s sake,” he mumbled to himself, “it doesn’t look as if she’s even started to leave.”
Ross’s anger turned to fear when he realized that she could have fallen or turned something over on herself. With his heart pounding in his throat, he hit the porch at a run and swung the door open. Briefly it registered that the door hadn’t been locked. Darn, how many times had he warned her to lock up when she was here by herself?
Ross was in such a hurry he almost knocked Katherine down as she came out the kitchen door. The relief at finding her okay immediately turned his fear back to anger. “Just what the hell do you think you’re doing? I thought you were hurt!” Ross gripped her by the shoulders.
Katherine glanced down at her watch. “I didn’t think it was this late. I know you’re furious with me and, worst of all, I deserve it. I’m sorry. I should have left with you.”
She looked so beautiful with her big eyes and moist lips. Ross ignored the stab of pain in his groin. “That does it! I’m going to get a contractor to do this house, and no argument. It’s a plain and simple fact that I can’t trust you to use a little common sense. Katherine, you don’t know when enough is enough.” Ross’s voice had risen until he was shouting at her.
As quickly as he’d started, Ross fell silent, He ran his hands through his hair, and started for the front door.
Katherine ran after him. He seemed not to notice her. Finally, she grabbed his arm and propelled herself into his path.
Ross stopped and looked down at her. Wisps of hair had escaped from the clips holding it off her face and there was dirt on her cheek. “You’re absolutely beautiful,” Ross groaned as he pulled her against him, burying his face in her neck. “What am I going to do with you? One minute I’m so mad at you I could break your neck, and the next I’m scared to death you’ve gotten hurt, and the next...” He trailed off as he took her mouth with his.
The moment his lips touched hers, something broke open. He tightened his arms around her, crushing her against his arousal. This time the kiss wasn’t gentle, but hot and demanding as he parted her mouth with his and drove his tongue into the moist center of her mouth. The fear he’d felt earlier turned into a wild, fierce need. He couldn’t get close enough. Katherine moaned low in her throat and opened her mouth to allow him more access. Then she met his tongue with her own.
Ross ran his hand under her shirt, lifting it to access her breast, and released the front clasp of her bra. He bent his head and took her hardened nipple into his mouth, teasing it with his teeth.
Katherine moved her hips against him, trying to get closer through their jeans.
Ross’s hands roamed over her. “Your skin is so soft and warm.”
Katherine ran her fingers through the crisp hair at the base of his head and murmured his name as she twisted to give him better access.
Ross brought his mouth up from her breast and returned it to her mouth.
This time she was ready. She parted her lips and met his tongue with her own.
