Winter Baby
Master Plan:
√ 1. College
√ 2. Career
3. Marriage Oops!
4. Children (after two years)
Sarah Lennox had her life arranged down to the last minute - but that was before she discovered she was pregnant and that her fiancé was a jerk.
Not sure what to do next, she heads to Firefly Glen, the quiet little town that was once a haven for her. After she arrives, though, she fins upheaval in the disconcerting presence of Sheriff Parker Tremaine - a man who can almost make her forget that she's a recently ditched, slightly desperate and undeniably pregnant schoolteacher.
Babes in Arms
Re•spon•si•ble adj 1: trustworthy, reliable, dependable. 2: the one thing Griffin Cahill is not.
Griffin Cahill plays too hard, dodging commitment any and every way he can. His ex-fiancée, pediatrician Heather Delaney, works too hard, for essentially the same reason.
Everything changes when Griffin's twin nephews come to stay. The babies are more than a handful, and for the first time in his life Griffin needs help - which Heather is extremely reluctant to give. Helping Griffin take care of the boys will mean moving into his house and becoming part of his life. That ended in disaster once. And she's too smart to let it happen twice. Isn't she?
Ex-con Matthew Quinn has plenty of trouble in his life right now. He doesn't need to take on more. And there's no question that Natalie Granville - with her crumbling mansion and her canceled wedding - is capital-T trouble. But that doesn't stop him from accepting a job from her.
He can handle it. All he needs to do is follow some rules:
1. Remember she's your boss, nothing else.
2. Don't start letting the arrangement get all cozy and domestic and personal.
3. Don't notice, don't want, don't feel and definitely don't touch.
Faith Constable is not the kind of woman who runs from a fight
If it weren't for her orphaned nephew, she never would have left Manhattan for the sleepy little town of Firefly Glen. But now she's here - hunted by a madman and forced to live in fear.
Reed Fairmont can help everyone but himself
Reed knows Faith needs a safe place to hide, but he's beginning to wonder just what kind of protector he can be. His previous failure has already cost one life. Still, he can't back out now - Faith and her nephew have nowhere else to go.
MY REVIEW: Kathleen O'Brien gave me much more than I expected with "The One Safe Place". I knew it would be a great read, but it was full of wonderful extra touches! Ms. O'Brien really put some oomph into the details, and the sweet sexual awareness between the main characters is palpable. In addition to the well-done suspense aspect of the story line, there were some sharply funny laugh-out-loud moments! Two people who have suffered great loss, an adorable little boy with a cute dog, and a worthy supporting cast all come together for a terrific romance read. Ladies, let me just say this: Sensitive, sexy, widowed veterinarian. Repeat: Sensitive, sexy, widowed veterinarian.
