One Kiss — Christie Ridgway

"Christie Ridgway captures the true magic of falling in love."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr

Following an awkward morning-after, can a cautious woman let loose her heart and a rugged loner learn to be a family man?

“A sizzling combination of heat and heart.” #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy

How could a birthday go so wrong? After a chance meeting with a handsome stranger, Shay Walker decides to gift herself with a names-free, one-night fling. After all, she's spent her whole life toeing the line. But when morning comes, her handsome stranger doesn't disappear from her life as she'd assumed. Instead, she discovers he's the man who signs her paychecks -- the absent father of the teen she tutors full-time.

Jace Jennings knows nothing about being a dad, but his teen daughter needs a parent, and it's time to step up. But now he realizes his household includes the live-in tutor…who is none other than the beauty he hooked up with one unforgettable night. For the sake of the girl, he and Shay agree to pretend the interlude never happened, but memories that hot refuse to stay buried…
