One Night with Her Millionaire Boss
Always the groomsman, never the groom…
…until one night changes everything...
Ned Hudson has always known his destiny—to inherit and run his family’s rural Australian estate. Now, ready to settle down, his “wife wish list” is exact…so why can’t he get city-girl Freya Delaney off his mind? When Freya arrives to photograph his historic home, a spark ignites. And after one night of passion has unintended consequences, he might just find himself throwing the list out the window!
MY REVIEW: Author Kandy Shepherd's magical storytelling skills give a delightfully fresh charm to "One Night with her Millionaire Boss". Readers first met Ned Hudson in his brother Wil's story, "Second Chance with the Single Dad". Seeing how his brother has found romance and happiness, Ned makes a list of the qualities he thinks he needs in a wife. Approaching thirty, and settled in to managing his wealthy family's estate, Ned is ready to be a groom, not just the groomsman he has been in numerous weddings of other people. When he meets Freya Delaney, a photographer hired by his mother to capture images of the family home after a renovation, he is enchanted by the city girl who is the opposite of his "wife list". Freya had expected Ned to be a stuffy son-of-privilege, not a ruggedly handsome man-of-the-land whose exterior belies his real warmth and kindness. While these two are opposites in many ways, the attraction between them is immediate and mutual. One stormy night, the passion flares, and the connection they have felt from the beginning becomes a reality. Ned wants a relationship, but Freya has always protected her heart from serious involvement--a defense mechanism created from a troubled childhood and too many hurts. Can Ned make Freya see that she is safe with him? Can "country" and "city" meet in the middle and blend together for a bright and happy future? For a contemporary romance lover's treat, read "Second Chance with the Single Dad" and follow up with "One Night with her Millionaire Boss".

Second Chance with the Single Dad
From long-lost friends…
To newfound family?
Georgia and Wil were best friends until he married and disappeared from her life. Now he’s back, asking Georgia to forget the past and help him secure his future—the daughter he never knew he had! Georgia’s heart goes out to new dad Wil, but there’s an uncharted chemistry fizzing between them and she must protect her heart. Can they confront their unspoken attraction and finally become a family?
MY REVIEW: A vulnerable hero who grows stronger as his vulnerabilities are revealed highlights "Second Chance with the Single Dad". a touching contemporary romance from wonderful storyteller Kandy Shepherd. Wil Hudson is tall, dark, and handsome--and wealthy through his business success as a genius engineer. His personal life is another matter, and his world is turned upside down when he learns after his ex-wife's death that she had borne him a daughter. Stunned that she would keep such a secret, Wil is determined to care for his infant daughter, Nina, but he can't do it all on his own. He needs Georgia, the best friend he had turned away from when he had married Nina's mother. Georgia is still hurt by Wil's disappearance from her life two years ago. Now he's back, asking for her help, and against her better instincts for self-preservation, she agrees. After all, it's hard to resist two sets of beautiful, hopeful brown eyes--Wil's and Nina's, whose eyes are just like those of her father. Previously, in order not to lose their valued friendship, Wil and Georgia had kept their relationship strictly platonic, each ignoring a glimmer of longing for something more. Now, together again under such emotional circumstances, those longings are growing into a desire for a deeper relationship. However, each of them has their own issues to work through, especially Wil, who has never told Georgia the truth of the trying circumstances of his turbulent childhood. Can Wil and Georgia clear away the shadows of the past and look forward to a bright future with precious little Nina? Kandy Shepherd is one of my longtime favorite authors, and she writes appealing characters whose lives and loves evolve through compelling story lines.
