EVELYN ADAMS

Series: The Southerlands

​

A small town romance about the police detective who wants a family of his own and the single mother who can’t let herself fall for a man with a dangerous job again. Not even when he’s everything she wants and might be exactly what her son needs.

Adam Southerland is the last man standing. His brothers and sisters have all found true love, and he’s still alone. It’s not by choice – not entirely. He wants one special person to come home to at the end of the day, someone to build a family with, but his job as a cop doesn’t make it easy. Until a pint-sized graffiti artist leads him to the woman he’s been dreaming of and the family he’s always wanted. Except busting Erica Braxton’s son for vandalism isn’t a great start.

After her husband died in Afghanistan, widowing her and leaving her young son without a father, Erica had to figure out how to pick up the pieces and rebuild her shattered life. She’s finding a path through her grief, but her son gets angrier and more self-destructive every day. The one ray of hope is the sexy detective who’s so good for her boy and so dangerous to her heart.

Erica and her son need a man in their lives and Adam wants the job. But she’s not falling for a guy who carries a gun. If she gives her heart away, it will be to a nice safe accountant or insurance salesman. With crime in the normally quiet town heating up and Erica walling her already wounded heart away, can Adam convince her to take a chance on them? Or will he be left alone again without someone to love?
