Toys and Wishes — Karen Rose Smith

PLAYING FOR KEEPS

Joshua Flannigan ran a successful toy business, but where his family was concerned he didn't play games. When his beloved aunt turns her life upside down on the advice of a new 'friend," be decides to play hardball.

Blond-haired, blue-eyed Alexandra Kittredge looked more like a cheerleader than a counselor, but she really did believe the advice she gave her clients. Life was for living... taking risks sweetened the pot. But when she was confronted by the darkly handsome Joshua, who was fiercely determined to protect his aunt, she knew the stakes were getting too high.

But Joshua began to trust her, and changed the rules of the game. His anger melted into passion and Alexandra found her resistance swept away by his irresistible force. Could she risk her heart in a game where winner takes all, knowing that Joshua wanted more than she could ever give?
