Book excerpt: Love isn’t supposed to be part of the deal in this captivating small-town romance from the USA Today–bestselling author of Coming Home to Crimson. His daughter comes first . . . Shep Bennett’s as smooth as they come . . . except when it comes to his new daughter. Paige Harper has the magic touch with the traumatized toddler, so she strikes a bargain. She’ll care for Rosie, if Shep will let her run the inn he bought out from under her family. But will Paige be able to keep her heart out of the deal? “Major writes reliable grown-up romances, and Paige and Shep’s story is worth an afternoon’s time.” —Publishers Weekly
