Book Description

Three swoon-worthy romances bundled into one highly addictive collection of love stories… Infertility tests the strength of a marriage, a single mother is swept off her feet by a younger man, and friends become lovers in an unexpected workplace romance. —Holding Onto Hope— Sometimes you can’t give the people you love everything they want no matter how hard you try. Other times, people need more of you than you’re capable of giving. I’m at a crossroads between my wants and their needs. Kimber and I haven’t been able to grow our family and the clock is winding down. My friendship with Jake is becoming a nightmare. Convinced everyone has it better than he does, my partner can’t see the damage he’s inflicting on himself and those around us. Forced to choose, I’m holding onto hope that it’s never too late. —Home Wrecker (Bonus Chapter included!)— To get my head screwed on straight before it’s too late, I took on a mentor role with the big brother program. Shallow as it sounds, what any nine-year-old got from having me as a role model wasn’t a priority. Then Bhodi reminds me of everything I lost out on during my childhood. Unlike the adults in my life, I’d planned on doing right by the kid. And not because of the way his mom, Holly’s, bare midriff always peeks over those signature cut-off shorts. Or the way the woman—old enough to be my… older sister—looks at me from under those thick lashes. After Holly gives me one night, she’s stolen my heart, and I’m set on winning hers over. I’ll do anything to keep them, including chasing off Bhodi’s old man, who is looking for a second chance. And it leaves everyone around us wondering who is the real home wrecker? —Deep Gap— What does an almost middle-aged guy like me have in common with a young woman who was never allowed to grow up? Not much… Other than death. Greer accepts responsibility for taking life for granted. But the weight of others’ expectations leaves her existing in the past. She stands on one side of a deep chasm, tied down by regrets that highlight a bleak future. When Greer needs a lift, I recognize our histories are strikingly similar, and I’m struggling as much with being left behind by the people I held dear. But can two lonely hearts bridge the gap together and find a promise for tomorrow? Jody Kaye, the creator of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, presents the Shattered Hearts of Carolina Romance Series Collection 2, a steamy southern romance series set in the heart of North Carolina.
