A Bride by Summer

Round-the-Clock Brides #4

by Sandra Steffen

Baby, oh, baby!

Talk about being broadsided! When Reed Sullivan is almost run off the road by a reckless driver, it's town newcomer Ruby O'Toole to the rescue. But the last thing Reed needs is a sexy distraction like Ruby, especially with the paternity of the infant left on the Sullivan brothers' doorstep still a mystery. For now, all he can offer Ruby is friendship…and maybe a kiss here or there.

Quirky, independent Ruby is making a fresh start. Men are strictly off-limits—so maybe she and Reed should just be friends, despite their instant, combustible chemistry. But when a new wrinkle in the baby drama develops, will their "just friends" status stand? Or is happily-ever-after on the table?

Reviews

[Harlequin Books]

"Steffen’s tale is a riveting romantic comedy with a strong, silent hero and a chatty, steadfast heroine. Set in an idyllic Michigan college town, Steffen’s comedic dialogue is exceptional and her steamy scenes scorch the pages" (RT Book Reviews). 4 1/2 stars
