More Than She Expected

By Karen Templeton

Neighbor, handyman and…husband? One woman finds her heart's desire right in her own backyard in award–winning author Karen Templeton's newest addition to her popular miniseries Jersey Boys! 

He's just a friend! is the mantra pregnant Laurel Kent lives by while pretending not to stare at sexy Tyler Noble, the gorgeous neighbor who's been all–too–kindly playing Mr. Fix–It in her house. After all, she needs the help more than she cares to admit–her sharp–tongued grandmother is her only family. But it's getting nearly impossible to ignore the sparks and butterflies she feels in her tummy every time he smiles at her…and that's not the baby talking! 

It's ironic to Tyler that he's repairing the fence separating his yard from Laurel's when all he wants is zero barriers between them! Sure, she's pregnant, and no, she insists she's not looking for Husband #2. But he knows if she'd give him a chance, he could prove that he's the missing piece needed to complete her new family….
