author: Daughety, Annalisa
description: She's a widow with a toddler...he says he never wants a family. It's the perfect faux romance until sparks fly.
  Widow and single mom Brooke Jennings Lockwood knows it’s time to move on with her life. She can’t let fear hold her back any longer. With the help of her sisters, Riley and Olivia, and her cousin, Kate, she musters up the courage to enter back into the world of dating.
  When her attempts don’t go well, Brooke all but gives up. She’ll just skip out on her family’s upcoming reunion.
  Grant Ward runs Brooke’s favorite coffee shop, and she’s known him since high school. He was even friends with her late husband. Grant returned to Arcadia Valley after suffering a tragedy of his own. When he learns of Brooke’s plight, he has a solution: if she’ll go with him to his parents’ anniversary party, he’ll be her date to the family reunion.
  It’s the perfect plan until the sparks between them begin to fly.
  Can Brooke and Grant let go of the tragedies of the past and the fears of the present and make a real reservation for romance?
