title: Under One Roof
author: Gordon, Debbie
description: Camille Bank is a young woman that through no fault of her own has lost her way. Her parents feel that she has no semblance of what a dollar is all about. She spends like it’s growing on trees and has no problem putting it on credit. Her attitude is not the carefree young girl that they remember. She sees her parents, as a hindrance and their idea of tough love is to throw her to a precocious young kid that has made her life a living hell. She has no desire to go another round with Jamie, especially when he goes into his terrible two’s. What she wants is for her parents to get off her back, but that’s not gonna happen. Callen Carson is a cowboy billionaire that lives across the street from the Banks. He has just lost his wife and his business is a fledgling oil concern that makes him a lot of money, even if he isn’t working at the time. He has never strayed from his wife, but now that she’s gone, he has a decision to make that to move on or get stuck in the past. He’s lonely, doesn’t put himself out there and is about to learn that good things come in small packages. Callen has no idea what to expect when he gets a call from across the street. They want him to take their daughter for the evening and give her a sense of responsibility by looking after Jamie. This actually works in his favor, because he has business to conduct and he has not been able to find a babysitter on such short notice. He doesn’t expect the beautiful sensuous bronzed goddess that shows up at his door. He can’t take his eyes off of her and he knows that he is playing with fire. That fire is not unrequited and even though Camille had no feelings for him a couple of years ago, she begins to see him as somebody that can show her the way. Can he see past his wife’s memory? Will she be able defrost his heat in and begin the heat things up to the point that they are boiling?
