All he wants is Maya, and their child.
But can a girl whose father abandoned and betrayed her, ever truly believe in the goodness of a man who left town the morning after their one night stand? How can he convince her that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her since then, much less, do so with the whole world watching? He has to prove himself to a woman he’s not even sure he’s worthy of. But he has no idea how.

I loved this story! The characters were very lovable. The love interests were characters you could love and admire. Good book. A great read!
I loved the story of Caleb and Maya. I won’t give any spoilers. Caleb into politics and Maya works in a salon owned by her mother. Maya is one of 5 sisters and has trust issues. I love Maggie Shayne writing style. This is an easy read book and you get you HEA. I am definitely going to read the next book. The Brand’s are worth following.
An entertaining read!
A book with strong women that are unapologetic about leading in a man’s world.

Great Christmas book

Wonderful story.
I have read it twice. Love it
