Restoring Hope

Life throws you curve balls, but no parent should ever bury a child. Determined not to make the same mistakes with his son as he made with his daughter, Nic Beuve is single-minded until Hope walks into his life. Hope Delaney, a woman with a past that almost broke her, tries to keep people at bay for their own protection. Fortunately for her, no one listens when she says she wants to be alone. A burning desire, a deep need to protect, and a woman who looks like an angel breaks down Nic's defenses until he can't ignore them. He wants Hope and what Nic wants . . . Hope thinks she can walk away at any time. She just wasn't counting on a man like Nic to get in the way-or a nosy but loving Cajun Boss. All's fair in love and war, and Maman Rose wants Nic and Hope together. Will their relationship survive an ex-wife with an agenda or will her past come between them-or kill them?
