This is the first book in my series, The Reyes Family Romances. The characters will continue to pass in and out of all of the subsequent books, as they prove that love can last for the long-term, if you find the right person. And that family is always important.

Tegan drove so fast going home, that she didn’t have time to think about anything else except not getting a ticket. She knew a cop would have no idea what she had on under her shorts and tee shirt, but she didn’t want to chance anyone finding out what a wanton woman she really was.
When she got home, she found Rosa watching TV in the living room, and the kids were all asleep upstairs. Since they frequently stayed over at each others’ houses, this wasn’t anything unusual. So she paid Rosa for the babysitting, and sent her home, watching from her front porch, until she saw Rosa enter her own front door.
She went upstairs to peek in on the kids, and found that the girls were indeed asleep, but the boys were still playing the computer games they loved. She told them to turn it off and get to sleep, and they complained, but since both of them were yawning while they argued, she figured they’d turn in soon, and she left them to go fill her bathtub with water.
She was soaking in a bubble bath, with a glass of wine in her hand, and candles lit all around the room, when her cell phone rang. Since she was expecting the call, she had it on a chair next to the tub.
“Hello Patti?”
“No, it’s me,” Alexander’s low voice made her feel like her bones were melting. “Have dinner with me tomorrow night?”
“No! I can’t get a sitter on such short notice!”
“The night after that?”
“NO!”
“When?”
“Never! I told you, it’s not going to happen again! Good-night Alex.” Then she hung up the phone.
Alexander smiled at the phone in his hand, saying, “Ah, but it IS going to happen again. The only thing you can negotiate with me for is where and when.”
