The Bench

Love in New England #2

by Rebecca Morean

Neither can stand to lose the other, but one must leave to discover who they are. Katie, suddenly single and just trying to keep it together, is clueless her ex-husband hired a private eye in order to maneuver her into legal cross-hairs. Sexy Biron, who has sworn off of love, has no interest in the case. Or her. But this starts to change. Katie Wickham just wants to get through the day, love her two children, and spend time with her crazy sister. But something's missing, as she discovers, when an old Peace Corps flame contacts her out of the blue and she fantasizes about the hunky dog walker down the street. Even though her mind is occupied with bills and grocery lists, some part of her needs more. After a house fire leaves her scattered, Katie sets off for Maine, where she runs into a man who changes everything. Everything. From Ben Biron's point of view, love is the tattered tissue covering grief. He's seen it marriages wrecked by betrayal, dishonesty, and hollow promises. Getting dirt on Katie Wickham is just one more job, until he travels to Maine and accidentally makes contact with the target. From Boston to Maine, Katie and Biron begin a dance of give and take with an unclear finish. She is not at all what he expected. He may not be what she needs. After a month on the job, he knows everything about her, yet nothing about himself. After a week with him, she knows exactly what she wants . . . and she will not compromise.

What happens after you’ve met the “perfect” guy? Katie struggles to keep up appearances after her husband walks out and then hires Ben Biron, a sexy, sworn-off-of-love P.I. to follow her. But Katie is not at all what Biron expected. And Biron may not turn out to be what Kate needs.
