Jessanna — M.E. Haarde

Men...Jessanna Wagner's life was full of them. After all, she lived with seven of them - her father, her four brothers, and two nephews. How hard could it be to add one more to the mix for a couple of months?

When Jessanna convinces her older brother to hire a mechanic for the farm, Nate Anderson fits the bill. A good mechanic, he has made it crystal clear his employment with the Wagners is very temporary. A perfect situation, as far as Jess is concerned since she has no desire to be close to any man - ever again. And especially not some man with a nasty disposition and distaste for women. What she doesn't count on is his four year old son. Offering to take care of the boy means she must interact with the father far more often than either one bargained for. Soon keeping the hired man at arm's length becomes a greater challenge than Jess had anticipated. Can she keep her secret - and her heart - safe from Nate?
