The Housewarming

HOMEBODIES

Anything could happen to a struggling single mother of a three-year-old, and it was obvious to Alex Peyton that Stacey Kidd and little Emily needed looking after. So when the woman somehow inherited the house that should have been his, Alex appointed himself her protector. But while he was guarding every inch of Stacey's delectable body, he'd do well to guard his heart, too:

All Stacey had ever wanted for herself and Emily was a home of their own, but now that she had her independence, she had a watchdog, too -- in the form of a sexy, six-foot man. But the rough and rugged widower kept himself on the outside, looking in. Could Stacey ever convince Alex that he could protect her more passionately from inside the house?
