When Emma Grant returns to her family's Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations of her father's will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out of the house for good. She's never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young daughter, she has no choice.
Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma's life years ago, but he's determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma and the house.
Their ridiculous and steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she's kept their daughter a secret for two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?

Brothers of Audubon Springs Series, #2
Genre: Contemporary
Romantic Comedy
Annie O'Malley's dream of owning a secondhand bookstore in tight-knit Audubon Springs is coming true. Still reeling from her parents' sudden deaths, she believes that signs or messages can be found within the pages of books. She loves her job and has made plenty of friends but longs for the acceptance only love and a family can provide.
Tony Iuliano is there to fix the wiring in her shop. He doesn't believe in fate, magic, or the power of a good book. All this combined with his sexy-as-sin presence and all-knowing attitude infuriates Annie. The quirky bookworm intrigues him enough to accept her bet to read a book from her shop. When he discovers a stack of fifty-year-old love letters in the book, he wants to leave the past alone, but seeing it as a sign, Annie challenges him to read the letters and search for the long-lost lovers or lose the bet.While shaking the dust off several ill-fated romances and fighting their attraction at every turn, the pair soon become the town gossip daily special. If they can stop arguing long enough, they may just discover this particular sign was meant for them all along.

“Are
we going to shake on this?” He extended his hand and grinned.
Annie
hesitated for a split second. Had she ever touched Tony? Shaking his hand with
that sexy, superior glint in his eyes unnerved her, but she needed to seal the
deal.
His
warm hand engulfed hers, shooting a jolt of electricity through her veins. He
had a solid, firm grip, the kind to hold a shaky person steady. Lifting her
gaze to his, she smiled when his eyes widened in a flash of surprise. It had
been a long time since she’d really touched another person. When the warmth
from his hand made its way dangerously close to parts of her that had lain
dormant for years, she abruptly let go.
“There,
deal.” Flushed, she returned her focus to the book in his hand. “Open it, but first, look at how worn it is,
you can tell it’s been read a few thousand times.”
Tony
flipped the big, hardcover book open. Instead of the expected well-worn pages,
a small stack of what looked like letters bound by a string sat nestled inside.
The pages were yellowed, the string frayed. The owner cut a neat and deep
square into the center of the pages, nearly removing the entire contents of the
book. Tony pulled them out, squinted, and weighed them in his hand.
Equally
stunned, a burst of adrenaline hit Annie. Of all the treasures she’d uncovered
in the two years since dealing in secondhand books, she never came across
anything quite like this. This was a sign – from her parents, or other forces
at work in the universe – but this book, and all its possibilities, was
important to someone, somewhere.
“Now
do you believe me when I say every book has a story to tell?”
