Husband for Hire — Michele Bardsley

Grandmother seeks intelligent, good-looking, hard-working man for stubborn granddaughter whose heart needs mending.

When Victoria Simms hires handsome handyman Alex Ross, she expects her granddaughter, recently-dumped-at-the-altar Maggie Conrad, to take notice.

Maggie takes notice all right. Her grandmother needs a fix-it man like Maggie needs another cheating, conniving fiancé. Despite her doubts about Alex, she can't prevent the threads of attraction that intertwine with her suspicions.

Alex, handyman incognito, needs ideas so he can invent the next can't-live-without-it household item for his convenience products company...but instead finds himself wanting to re-invent love in Maggie's heart.
