Yours To Keep
Emma Shaw needs a husband, and fast! Not because she's interested in romance—after all, she's too busy with her landscaping company—but because Grandma Shaw is coming to town, and she will have nonstop questions about Emma's (stagnant) love life. Sean Kowalski no sooner leaves the army than he's recruited by Emma to be her fake fiance. Sean doesn't like the deception, but he can't help his attraction to the feisty brunette. A little pretend kissing won't hurt anyone—especially when there's no chance he'll fall for a woman with deep roots in a town he's not planning to call home. But when fake, innocent kisses lead to very real, explosive sparks, Emma and Sean discover that their big ruse might just lead to happily-ever-after…. Previously published, newly refreshed.

Review: Dec 1, 2010
If I had to sum up what this book was about in one word it would be perseverance. Specifically, our hero Kevin Kowalski's almost unending perseverance in waiting out commitment phobic Beth Hansen. It's bad enough that the first time they meet, in his bar she gets a bad impression of him as an indiscriminate playboy, but in the same meeting he gets her fired from her job. Then when fate brings them together

Kevin Kowalski is not a one woman man and everybody knows it. Yet something about Beth Hansen is making him see that he could change. Something about her makes him want to be good and redeem himself, which scares him to the core. He's never acted like an asshole but something about Beth just makes him feel like a young boy being in love for the first time. It was just one night of passion with her and now he'
