Inescapable Love

After being the rebound one too many times, I accepted love wasn't for me...

Once, I'd been a hopeless romantic. But getting tossed aside time and time again made me jaded. Happily ever after wasn't for me. Instead, I focused on being my niece's favorite uncle. It was enough.



Until Natalie and her daughter.



Recently divorced, she's determined to open a bed and breakfast and hires me to renovate it. I should be focused on the job, but instead I'm distracted by the undeniable attraction between us.



When a late-night water leak brings me face-to-face with Natalie wearing nothing but barely-there wet lingerie, I can't ignore my desires any longer. She and her daughter remind me of the family I'd always wanted but had given up on.



Is this relationship the real thing I've always dreamed of, or am I once again a rebound?
