SYNOPSIS
This is Patty’s third contemporary romance with Tule
Publishing Group, inspired by a TV commercial in which a Dad says, “With four
daughters, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll always have nail polish
on my fingers.”
It’s been two years since former engineer Gabriel Ivers lost his wife and accepted a job as a building superintendent to be home with his children. His focus is being both mom and dad to his girls, until the beautiful Amelia Blake moves next door and reminds him he’s a man as well as a dad. Just as he begins to hope that his life can once again hold more than homework, chores, and movie-and-manicure nights with his girls, he discovers the reason for the fragility beneath Lia’s warm smile.
Lia is trying to move on with her life after a miscarriage ends all hope for a baby, and a subsequent betrayal destroys her marriage. She’s charmed by her new neighbor with his sparkling manicure, multi-colored hair clips, and his brood of girls, but disturbed by the sexual tension that sizzles between them. Gabe and his daughters remind her of everything she’s always wanted and it would be so easy to take what he’s offering her. But is she ready to risk her heart again, especially when her heart isn’t the only one in play?
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. Good thing Gabe is a fighter who’s determined to prove to Lia he’s in this for the long haul…the rest of their lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Patty Blount grew up quiet and a bit
invisible in Queens, NY, but found her voice in books. Today, she writes smart
and strong characters willing to fight for what’s right. She’s the
award-winning author of edgy, realistic, gut-wrenching contemporary and young
adult romance. Still a bit introverted, she gets lost often, eats way too much
chocolate, and tends to develop mad, passionate crushes on fictional
characters. Let’s be real; Patty’s not nearly as cool as her characters,
but she is a solid supporter of women’s rights and loves delivering school
presentations.
