First Comes Love

 Book 2 of A Willamette Valley Romance

After detective Alex Walker’s last case in Portland is skewered by tough-as-nails attorney Kerry O'Hearn, he decides to finish out his career on a quiet note in the Willamette Valley. Dedicated to his job and committed to his family, he’s fine letting his brusque exterior keep even the thought of a relationship at bay—especially once he realizes his new hometown is the old hometown of the attorney who ruined his last case . . .

Kerry is just as wary as Alex, thanks to her disastrous first marriage. She thinks her little family is just fine. But she isn’t fooled by Alex’s tough-guy image. When he asks for her assistance in gaining custody of two little boys from an abusive foster home, she sees what he desperately tries to hide: a giant-sized heart.

Between them they have five kids and a whole barrel of bad experience. And yet, Kerry can’t shake the feeling that she and the crusty cop were meant to be . . .
