Maureen Burke danced with abandon.

      Throwing herself into this pocket of time, matching the steps of this leanly athletic man with charismatic blue eyes and a sexual intensity as potent as his handsome face.

      Brains. Brilliance. A body to die for and a loyal love of family.

      Xander Lourdes was a good man.

      But not her man. Only her boss.

      And too soon, her work visa was due to expire. And officials had thus far denied her requests to extend it. She would have to go home to Ireland. To face all she’d run from, to leave this amazing place.

      So Maureen breathed in the salty air mixed with the scent of burning wood from the bonfire and allowed herself to be swept away by the dance. By the look of this man with coal-black hair that spiked with the sea breeze and a hint of sweat. His square jaw was peppered with a five-o’clock shadow, his shoulders broad in his tuxedo, broad enough to carry the weight of the world.

      Shivering with warm tingles that had nothing to do with any bonfire or humid night, she felt the attraction radiating off him the same way it heated her. She’d sensed the draw before, but his grief was so well-known she hadn’t wanted to wade into those complicated waters.

      Maureen wasn’t interested in a relationship, but maybe if she was leaving she could indulge . . .

      Dear Reader,

      I am an animal rescuer. It’s not something I do. It’s who I am. For years, I’ve been active in volunteering at local shelters, but only in the past couple of years realized the time had come to be a part of starting a 501(c)(3) animal rescue. Little did I realize what an exciting, overwhelming, sometimes heartbreaking, but ultimately rewarding adventure that would be.

      Needless to say, my work in animal rescue and my years in Florida inspired The Boss’s Baby Arrangement. A long drive through the magnificently exotic Florida Keys had me quickly convinced I absolutely had to set some stories there. And from that came the idea for the Lourdes Brothers of Key Largo, a family dedicated to saving and expanding a Florida wildlife preserve.

      As my fingers flew across the keyboard, I soon found the animals weren’t the only wild creatures to be found in Key Largo! I hope you enjoy the sexy Lourdes brothers and each man’s journey to find the right woman.

      Cheers,
