Two single parents and three adorable kids are about to have a summer they’ll never forget in this sexy, heartwarming new novel of the New York Times<\/em> bestselling series.<\/strong><\/p>\n Following the sudden death of his wife, Nathan Bell has spent nearly two years burying himself in work and neglecting his biggest responsibility: his daughter.\u00a0 Overcome with guilt, he wants to connect with little Marley, but he doesn\u2019t know how to do it alone. And then Jenna Savage throws him a lifeline. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marley kept whining. She stomped her foot and shook her head at her father when he held out a stuffed giraffe. Nate swapped it out for a book, turning to a page and pointing at one of\u00a0the pictures. She wasn\u2019t interested. Marley fell back onto her butt as tears hit her cheeks. Her legs kicked against the floor with fury.<\/p>\n Nate pinched his eyes shut, ran a hand through his hair, and looked down at her. He appeared lost, and possibly on the brink of a melt-down himself.<\/p>\n He was overwhelmed, that was clear.<\/p>\n \u201cHas she eaten dinner? Maybe she\u2019s hungry,\u201d I said, walking over to the play yard. On instinct, I bent over the gate and held out my arms. I wanted to soothe her somehow. I at least wanted to try. I hated seeing this sweet thing so upset.<\/p>\n Marley immediately stood up and came to me. When I got her on my hip, she settled down and played with the chain around my neck again.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what she is,\u201d Nate replied. He held up his glasses and rubbed at his eyes. \u201cI guess she could be hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf you want, I can take her out there and she can eat with us. It\u2019s just me and my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSure. What does she like off the menu?\u201d<\/p>\n He looked at Marley, thinking hard on that question. \u201cNormal two-year-old stuff?\u201d Our gazes met. I saw the embarrassment in his eyes before he looked down and away. \u201cSorry. I really don\u2019t know what she likes. I haven\u2019t spent much time with her.\u201d He gripped the back of his neck, mumbling, \u201cI\u2019m sure that\u2019s obvious right now.\u201d Something about the way Nate spoke, the humiliation in his voice, the rejection\u2014he wanted to know his daughter. He wanted to have the answer to any question I could ask him about her, and he didn\u2019t know how.<\/p>\n Everything inside me that made me who I was, wanted to help him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Four Letter Word (#1)<\/strong> (Brian & Sydney) Hit the Spot (#2)<\/strong> (Jamie & Tori) Bad For You (#3)<\/strong> (Stitch & Shay) Down Too Deep (#4)<\/strong> (Nate & Jenna) <\/p>\n J.
