A Second Chance Standalone Romance in the Oakville World
Love You Better
Cyndi Sendaydiego and Blake Brady take their second chance at a happily ever after.
Blake Brady is gruff and irresistibly chiseled, with a just-right enough amount of salt in his hair to make me swoon. He’s a talented restaurateur and devoted dad to his daughter. In other words, he’s the only man who has ever tempted my confirmed bachelorette status.
Then I find out Blake’s business is in crisis, thanks to the embezzling accountant I recommended when I walked away from him three years ago. He says my skills with a spreadsheet makes me the only person he trusts to turn his restaurant around. Heaven help me, because I can’t say no to his gorgeous, weary eyes.
His brooding might as well be a form or foreplay, but it’s the man behind the hard shell who draws me in again. When Blake proposes a no-strings-attached office fling, I’m hooked. It’s only a bit of fun. No one’s talking about the L-word. Except when he finally breaks through my defenses, it’s impossible to keep Blake and his precious girl at arm’s length.

A note on the Amazon paperback links: Some people have noticed two prices for the paperbacks at Amazon. The more expensive option is supposed to only be available at brick and mortar bookstores and in no way helps me when you pay more for my book. In fact, I get the most royalties when you purchase a paperback direct. The higher price covers a bookstore’s overhead, which isn’t necessary when it comes to Amazon. They make plenty from the $16.99 price. Please know that I encourage you to grab the book wherever you feel most comfortable. I’m delighted by a sale anywhere. However, the higher price version at Amazon is a mistake that is trying to be resolved, and I want to make sure you know that it doesn’t help me when you pay more. A little behind-the-scenes book talk, but I thought you would want to know. Hopefully, will be fixed soon. XO, KKJ
