And so was the gruff stranger who told Abby Melrose to go home. But she'd come to Dr. Jeremy Waters for help with her exceptional little boy, and she didn't scare easily. The handsome recluse might be off-the-charts smart, but common sense told Abby he needed her as much as she needed him.
Jeremy was a genius, but he was also a red-blooded male, and the determined single mother's arguments--not to mention her beauty--were crumbling the once-solid walls surrounding his lonely heart. Before long, Jeremy knew even a know-it-all had something to learn--especially when it came to the true meaning of love....

LOVE OF MY LIFE
JUST SIGN AT THE X...
The deliveryman isn't looking for Cassidy Maxwell, female corporate CPA. He's seeking the coincidentally named Maxwell Cassidy, laid-back computer genius--and a first class pack rat judging from all of his worldly good that have been delivered to her teensy apartment--and the alarmingly charming owner isn't far behind.
It's a tough job, but someone's got to teach Cassidy how to lighten up. Who better than happy-go-lucky Max. He's determined to show the uptight Ms. Maxwell that life holds far greater rewards than a big raise and a corner office. Rewards like falling in love, getting married--even changing her troublesome name. If you ask him, Cassidy Cassidy has a nice ring to it...
