Consider Me
by Becka Mack
Book 1 in Playing for Keeps
You'll settle in for the long haul and be grateful for it, because the wait is the whole pleasure here. Expect to fall for a golden-retriever charmer who has to grow up to keep the girl, and to close the book a little wrecked over how good the payoff feels.
