Between Jack…
Orphaned at a
young age, Legs Anderson owes her Aunt Ada everything. The stoic old lady
raised her, and Ada’s warnings about men—and the Harris boys in particular—have
stuck, even after her death. Of course, that could be because Ada stuck around,
too.

Patience is not
one of Jack Harris’ virtues, and he’s waited too long to start a life with the
woman he’s loved since childhood instead of them just knocking boots. Now Ada
is interfering from beyond the grave, haunting the old Victorian house she
bequeathed to her niece and reinforcing Legs’s fears of commitment.

But Jack won’t

touched her hand when she got close enough and drew little circles around her
wrist bone with a fingertip. The preschool teachers from Let’s Explore stifled
