Following the deaths of her brother and sister-in-law, twenty-eight years old Addie Caine became an instant mother to her six years old nephew and her toddler niece. She is over the edge with her nerves frazzled trying to balance being a single working mom with her grief and a sense of abandonment since her fiancé dumped her.
Giff Baker was hired to find out who is leaking information at a civil engineering firm. The newcomer suspects Addie as the leak based on how frightened she looks. However, Giff is also attracted to Addie and wants to give her the benefit of the doubt. He quickly learns why she seems fatigued and stressed and wants to help her as Giff knows she is not the information leak. Yet someone else has noticed how bone weary Addie is and is setting her up to take the fall. Giff is determined to prove the woman he loves is innocent and to uncover the identity of the insidious person who is leaking information and framing his Addie.
The sequel to The Best Man In Texas (Giff lost the girl in that one) is an entertaining contemporary romance in which the troubles Addie deals with bring a sense of genuineness to the tale. The nephew is perhaps a bit too wise for his age and recent tragedy, but readers will enjoy this fun Texas romance as Tanner says they are teammates if Addie does not bench him for hiding why he is here.
