Note to Readers:
This title is now under contract and I have to take it down from wattpad. I am only able to post a sample chapter--SORRY! It will be available July 11, 2017 on amazon!
Melanie Blythe is perfectly happy staying home and focusing on her graphic design clients. She knows her limits and has been burned before. She certainly never intended to become involved with the gorgeous cop down the street.
Finn DeLuca has more than enough on his hands recovering from a hit-and-run accident that has left him temporarily in a wheelchair. He's on the rebound and has no intention of getting romantic with the cute girl two doors down.
But they didn't count on his five brothers and sisters sticking their noses in Finn and Mel's business. They are a force to be reckoned with in the first installment of this family's story.
