Ties That Bind

Leah Carew -- Cece to her friends -- is content with her life. She's the fifty-year-old aunt-turned-mother to her dead brother's twin sons and a tenured college professor. One failed attempt at a long term relationship is thankfully behind her. Besides, almost single-handedly raising two boys while carrying a full load at Howard gives her little time or patience for trying again. So she isn't ready for Tyler Brannigan and cannot deny her attraction to the charismatic oldest son of the President of the United States. But Cece knows off-the-chain chemistry isn't enough to guarantee that she will be more than a fling to him, and she's holding out for a soul mate. Besides, he's almost eleven years her junior with a toddler and the Secret Service in tow. What the hell is he even thinking?

At thirty-nine, Tyler Brannigan has done more and lived better than most people he knows and he has no complaints. He's content to raise his four-year-old son, Jimmy, and run the international luxury resorts he owns, even if these days he also has to manage being the First Son of the United States. He doesn't see Cece Carew coming until he's already caught by the charming, intelligent, deceptively youthful beauty. The last time he'd felt this way, he had married the woman. Is fate handing him a second chance? If so, he isn't about to refuse it, no matter what the obstacles may be. He will win her over, now that his heart is no longer breaking over the loss of his first love.
