When Alexis’ sister dies in a tragic car accident, she is left as the legal guardian to her sister’s two young daughters. A budding freelance journalist, Alexis barely makes enough money for herself, let alone a mini-family.

But what Alexis hadn’t counted on was her professional interest turning into attraction and her indifference becoming admiration. Max is everything she’s ever wanted in a man. If only she wasn’t everything he’s always hated...
