After All - Paperback

by Kristen Proby (Author)

The last sizzling novel in Kristen Proby's Romancing
Manhattan series finds a widower falling deeply in love again with a woman who
has scars of her own.

When Carter Shaw's wife died five years ago, he was left to
pick up the pieces not only of his own broken heart but also that of his devastated
eight-year-old daughter, Gabby--leaving him with no time for anything else, let
alone dating. But recently, Carter has noticed women again and soon even begins
dating. No one has stuck around for long, mostly thanks to one very angry
Gabby.

Nora Hayes has worked as Carter's assistant for years.
Recently divorced herself, Nora spends many hours at the office and helping
Carter with his daughter whom she adores. Despite loving her job and being
wrapped up in the Shaw family, Nora's never given her handsome, kind workaholic
boss a second thought, especially in the romance department.

But then the snowstorm of the century hits, and Nora finds
herself stranded at work with Carter overnight. And suddenly, she sees Carter
in a whole new, sexy light. The sadness that's lived in his eyes for so long
has now been replaced with pure, unadulterated lust--and Nora isn't quite sure
what to do about it. For after the pain of her divorce, she never thought she
would give love a second chance.

Carter and Nora have always believed in never
combining business with pleasure. But how can they possibly deny the all-consuming
chemistry between them...?
