The Perfect Candidate

Former foster kid Lauder Tolson is running for North Carolina state senate, but his bachelor status makes him look less than family oriented. He needs a lady love – just for the campaign. The ideal candidate is childhood nemesis Willow Dawson. But he once broke the beauty's heart and barely has her vote! Still, to fulfill her own dream, she agrees. Suddenly, they're a devoted couple in public. But neither expects how hot it gets in private.

Every passion has its price...

The devastatingly attractive stranger who walks into Tender Hearts Memorial Hospital instantly raises red flags for Vivian Moore. The ER nurse's worst fears are confirmed when she discovers who he is: the real estate developer rumored to be snatching up many of the properties in her old neighborhood. And Vivian is sure his passionate pursuit is just a front for the prize Alonso Wright is really after – her beloved childhood home.

Alonso is committed to building a community–events center that will be a lasting monument to his grandfather's memory. The only thing keeping him from fulfilling his dream is the compassionate, guarded beauty who refuses to negotiate. If he fails, Alonso stands to lose a significant investment. But once he gives in to his desire for Vivian, he could lose something far more precious. As a hurricane batters the North Carolina coast, an unscrupulous business associate threatens to derail Alonso's future, which now means nothing without Vivian to share it with him…
