A Practical Man
BEST-LAID PLANS .. .

Running a boardinghouse had never been a problem for Claire Deupree--until she rented a room to Madison McCrea. With his come-hither eyes and sexy drawl, this construction engineer made her feel more like a desirable woman than just a landlady. Hard knocks had taught Claire to be wary, but with Madison under her roof, she was tempted to open the door to romance.

The Louisiana beauty could sure provide all the comforts of home, but her sultry shape and innocent sensuality made Madison long for personal treatment. Still, she wasn't the love 'em and leave 'em type, and this practical man knew better than to make empty promises. So why was he suddenly dreaming of the impossible--a future with Claire and happily ever after?
