The Buy-In - Paperback

by Emma St Clair (Author)

I knew better than to fall for NFL player Patrick Graham. No way will I make this mistake twice--even if he is my husband. Six years ago, I fell in love when I shouldn't have. And I learned my lesson when he got drafted and left without so much as a goodbye. So, when Patrick shows up on my front porch and tells me his family just bought my whole town, I will not give into his charm a second time. The Grahams might be just what Sheet Cake, Texas needs to get back on its feet. Not me. I'm doing just fine. But I don't need Patrick sweeping in back in like he never left. Even if I'm taking care of my mom and raising my niece in a house that's falling apart around me. Until ... my sister decides she wants custody of Jo, and the state decides she'd be better in a two-parent household. Guess who steps up, more than happy to fill that role? I agree to marry Patrick for Jo, and only for Jo. But as he does everything he can for both of us, I start to wonder if resisting Patrick Graham is an exercise in futility. This is a second chance marriage of convenience romantic comedy following a family of brothers who buy a small Texas town. Filled with plenty of sizzle while keeping the bedroom door closed.
