Along Came Us — Nicole McLaughlin

He's Mr. Wrong, she's Miss Independent. When the two come together, sparks fly! Don't miss Along Came Us, a sexy and heartwarming romance from Nicole McLaughlin.

National Guardsman Tyler Cavallo knows all too well what it feels like to be a volatile teenager. There was a time when it seemed like everyone -- be it his father, a rival gang member, or his opponent in the MMA cage -- was out to get him. These days he focuses that fight into his gym where he mentors at-risk youths. But one particular teen has Tyler more concerned than usual, and if he's learned one thing in life, it's to trust his instincts, and right now those instincts are telling him that this boy isn't safe.

Lia Hanson is a woman on a mission. With bills to pay, and a younger brother to raise, and two full time jobs, she's working her ass off and doing the best she can. But in a few months she will finally graduate from college and be able to put most of that behind her for good. Or so she thinks, until a certain overbearing and stupidly good looking gym owner acts like he knows what's best for her brother. A man is the last thing she wants, and this man is certainly not who she pictured as a stable role model. Lia thought she had a plan, but Tyler's support, strength and passion have her realizing that sometimes the best things in life come when they're least expected.
