The Guy Next Door

Holly Blake has gotten used to doing things on her own. Working full-time, caring for a house, raising her six-month-old daughter Emily—and now attempting her own car maintenance. So when her sexy next-door neighbor stops by to lend a hand, Holly starts to think about something else she could do for herself. Maybe she could seduce him… Construction worker Derek Cassidy is undeniably drawn to the beautiful widow, so when she begins her tentative seduction, he’s a goner. But there’s one thing Derek knows for sure—he’s not daddy material. He has no intention of playing a permanent role in the quaint family scene next door, but how is he supposed to keep Holly’s eager embraces and Emily’s baby smiles from getting a hold on his heart? The Guy Next Door was originally published under the title Baby Love in 1998. This edition has been significantly expanded and revised.
