After being jilted at the altar, Claire Walsh decides to take her California Christmastime honeymoon alone--and finds a heart more in need of healing than her own. Another Chance Claire Walsh had it all: a good job, wonderful parents and a fiancé who seemed to be too good to be true. And he was. Fifty feet from the altar, Claire learns the groom of her dreams is a no-show, and everything she believes about love and herself goes straight out the window. Determined to give herself space and time, she takes her honeymoon alone, and finds herself drawn to a man with a heart in worse shape than hers. For the past five years Mac Stone has been going through the motions working with his aunt Myrna at her historic Santa Barbara B&B. He's made a life for himself, of sorts, but keeps his distance from emotional entanglements of any kind. But their newest guest, Claire Walsh is about to challenge all of that, and before Mac knows how it happened, the beautiful, vulnerable woman found a way into his heart--a heart he was certain would never love again.

The possibilities are endless, and they're something he can capture not just on film but in reality.

She wanted to make a withdrawal from a sperm bank. He would give all he has to make a direct deposit. INVESTING IT ALL Family law attorney Maddie Prescott is driven to succeed. A pawn in her parents' messy divorce, she devoted her career to representing children in court, and when her husband's early death makes it seem like she can't have it all, she's ready to beat the odds by going to a sperm bank. One advantage to single parenthood is that her child will never be a pawn. That, and she'll never have to deal with sarcastic ladies' men or liars. Jack Worth promised to look out for his dying best friend's wife: a small repayment for someone who once helped an irredeemable bad boy find the path to happiness. So, while Maddie Prescott's baby plans are questionable, duty and loyalty prompt Jack first to volunteer as the sperm donor...and then to propose a marriage of convenience. And the more he gets to know her, the more this onetime player will see that Maddie is the woman of his dreams, and that the child they will make deserves to be from a direct deposit.
