The Unexpected Affair

Love doesn’t fit any preconceived guidelines Determined to avoid relationships that will only end in painful break-ups, Whitney Talbot made a checklist of everything she wants in a life partner. Construction worker Lane Martin possesses a few of those traits—especially, the tall, dark, and devastatingly attractive part. But Lane has unavoidable baggage…He’s divorced, with a teenage son. So why is Whitney still fantasizing about taking their mutual infatuation to the next level? It took an accidental encounter at a new condo development to open Lane’s eyes to the possibility of second chances. On a trip to Whitney’s family B&B in the Bahamas, their friendship transforms into something richer and much deeper. If only the beautiful kindergarten teacher and aspiring songwriter didn’t have such firm ideas about what makes the perfect husband. Now Lane could lose her to another man . . . unless Whitney opens her heart to the one thing she left off her list—love.
