Overnight Mom
Never in a hundred years does Sabrina Martinez expect to meet someone like handsome millionaire Jack Thorne—let alone find him volunteering at the Denver mission where she works. She’s grown up in a humble home and is surprised an heir to a fortune could have such a kind and generous heart. But Sabrina can’t let anything distract her—not even love. She’s battling for custody of her nieces and there’s nothing more important than that. Jack wants to help, but the divide between him and Sabrina seems impossibly wide. Can they learn to see past their differences, and give themselves a chance at true love—and a real family?
“Why didn’t you kiss me?”
The old Brodie wanted to answer, “I have no idea, but I’ll make up for that now.” Then he’d kiss her.
He reined in that impulse. He’d changed. But the fact that Savvy looked at him as though she might be bothered he hadn’t kissed her wasn’t making this any easier.
“I,” he started, taking a seat on the step beneath hers and focusing on the words he should say, “I didn’t want to mess up what we have going now, taking care of the kids together, by doing something that wouldn’t be smart. I’m trying to do the right thing.”
“You’re trying to do the right thing,” she repeated.
Brodie nodded, but didn’t miss the fact that she sounded disappointed. Brodie was disappointed, too. But that didn’t change his mind. Kissing Savvy would be a mistake, and he’d made that kind of mistake before. He wouldn’t do it again, especially not with someone he cared about as much as he cared about Savvy. And he did care about her. And Dylan. And Rose and Daisy.
He had to remember all of them to control the impulse to do something he might regret. Something that would cost him another friendship.

Epilogue
Dear Reader
The wild child of Claremont, Alabama, had come home.
Raised brows and muted whispers accompanied Savvy Bowers as she crossed the town square that shaped the memories of her youth, as if the giant oaks and three-tiered fountain centering the place whispered the obvious...
She’s back.
Savvy opened the door to Bowers Sporting Goods as an attractive white-haired lady started out. Like that of the others Savvy had passed on her walk to her grandparents’ store, the woman’s expression changed as she undoubtedly put a name with the face.
“Why, Savannah Bowers, it’s been a long time, dear. And you’re as pretty as you were in high school.” She smiled, her green eyes holding nothing but compassion toward Savvy, a welcome change from the reception she’d received so far.
It only took a moment to recognize Ms. Martin. Her hair had transitioned from blond to snowy white, but other than that, the lady looked practically the same as she had fifteen years ago, when Savvy had graduated from high school, kicked the north Alabama dust from her heels and headed to Panama City Beach.
