    About this audiobook

    Carter Sloane is famous for one thing: winning cases. He’s sharp, astute, and always gets his way. In his private life, he’s constantly fumbling his way around when it comes to raising his two nieces.

    When he moves into a new office, he just can’t take his eyes off the fiercely independent woman across the street. He'd love to touch and kiss that irresistible body.

    Valentina “Val” Connor is proud of her booming fragrance company. If only she were half as successful in her love life… Between trusting the wrong men and sheer bad luck, Val is convinced she’ll never find the one.

    However, the sexy lawyer in the neighborhood with his sophisticated charm and sex-appeal is hell bent on proving to her that she is wrong. Val’s senses warn her to stay away from men like him–even if her body is begging her to cave.

    But when she finds out about Carter’s nieces, she steps in to help, doting on them with love and care. She can’t believe that the same man who is usually in control is completely in over his head with the girls.

    But as Val and Carter grow closer, one thing is clear to him: He'd move mountains to make her happy, but with Val's career soaring, how can he ask her to commit to the chaos of his life?

      Layla Hagen has written another super easy romance with a strong FMC and an alpha MMC who supports and adores the ground his love interest walks on. Carter is a single dad to his two nieces and Val owns a perfume company that's about to go to court. Carter sees Val in a coffee shop and just knows that he needs to do everything in his power to have this woman in his life. Val doesn't put up much of a fight, especially, when she knows he has two young ladies to look after.

      It's great seeing the girls so involved in the storyline and I loved seeing the near misses Val and Carter had when they were trying to get some alone time. Seeing all the Connor and Bennett gang together again added to the family dynamic this series always brings.

      Hagen does it again! Love Val and Carter’s story! Sebastian York and Andi Arndt are exceptional narrators…highly recommend!

      Carter is a single lawyer, who turned dad over night due do his sister and her husband dying in a ski accident. Carter meets Val, a strong CEO of a cosmetics company, at a coffee shop before work and hit it off. They end up seeing each other frequently at the coffee shop since it’s down the street from their offices. Over time they get really strong and their chemistry is off the charts.
