Dream Keeper, Paperback

He's perfect--but he can't be hers.

Pepper Hannigan is determined to keep any romance off the table--and out of her bedroom--while her daughter Juno is still young. Sure, a certain handsome commando is thoughtful, funny, and undeniably hot, but Pepper's had her heart broken before, and she won't let it happen again. Not to her or her little girl, even if this hero could melt any woman's resolve.

Augustus "Auggie" Hero can't deny his attraction to beautiful, warm-hearted Pepper or how much he wants to make a home with her and her little girl, but Pepper's mixed signals have kept him away. That is, until Juno decides to play matchmaker. Her efforts finally bring Pepper into his arms, but they expose the danger Pepper is in. To protect Pepper and Juno, Auggie will have to live up to his last name and prove happy endings aren't just for fairy tales.
