The One Kind Deed Series

Leah had a plan in place for this new phase of her life and she'd stick to it. Over six feet of Dakota Brenton wasn't going to change that.     Teaching fourth grade at Maplehaven Elementary School deep in the woods of Vermont is Leah Greenstead's chance to hide and heal. It hurt too much to stay in New York City where every corner café, every friend, every sunrise reminded her of all she'd lost. Some people get to have everything they've ever wanted. Some don't. Leah will stick to her rules about not getting close to anyone—about not falling in love again—and preserve what little is left of her heart.   Except Dakota Brenton sets his sights on Leah. Maplehaven's most beloved adventure guide isn't easy to resist either. And he knows it. He uses his sense of humor, his charming family, and mathematical dirty talk to make it difficult for Leah to ignore him. Letting him in, however, is a big risk. If she dates him, she might like him. If she likes him, she might love him. If she loves him… she might lose him.   Is one kind heart enough to change Leah's mind about love?     One Kind Heart is an opposites-attract, small-town, contemporary romance that features a heroine not willing to risk her heart and a hero not willing to give up on her.     Other Series by Christine DePetrillo The Maple Leaf Series, contemporary romance (6 books) "Fears, pride, love, passion ~ beautifully woven together with substance and depth."   The Shielded Series, sci-fi romance (3 books) "Great world-building, excellent emotional depth, and a great ending..."   The Warrior Wolves Series, paranormal romance (5 books) "Full of memorable characters with a solid plot and plenty of passion."

I'm hot. In places I shouldn't be hot. Not for Daniel Mariano.   Scoring a work trip back home to Vermont is a dream for Robin Sideris. Having to go with her sworn enemy Daniel Mariano is a nightmare. They've made careers of avoiding contact, but there's no steering clear of each other on this new assignment to a small town. Robin will find a way to get this job done so she can prove she's ready to be more than the company's statistics geek. All data suggests this trip isn't going to be easy, but she isn't going to let Daniel stand in the way of her career goals.   Even if he is a Roman god.   Daniel isn't thrilled with the prospect of spending an entire week with Robin for this assignment. All they've done at work is glare at each other and stay in their opposite corners of the office. It's totally his fault she hates him, but so what? Her number crunching keeps shooting down his new ideas for products. Is he supposed to be delighted to work with someone like that? Hell, no. This trip could mean a promotion though, so he'll suck it up and soldier through somehow.       Can an eight-hour flight in too-close seats, the sharing of a cozy cabin, the discovery of common goals, and the electricity that shoots through Robin and Daniel every time they touch bring them success in work… and love?   Is one kind desire enough to turn animosity into attraction?     One Kind Desire is an enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, workplace, contemporary romance with a technology manager and a research assistant who have more in common than they think.     The One Kind Deed Series, contemporary romance "The town, the people, the love story... a perfect romance."
