Earning Yancy — C.C. Wood

A year after her divorce from her manipulative, sweet-talking ex-husband, Yancy Stevens has settled into life as a single mother to her eighteen month old little girl. She enjoys her work, loves her daughter, and has wonderful girlfriends to lean on. While her life isn't perfect, she's finally back in control of it. There's just one problem: Charles Faulkner. Her new colleague in the office is arrogant and can't seem to remember her name. However, it's probably for the best that he's a jerk because he's also the most handsome man she's ever seen. If she didn't detest him, she would become a bumbling idiot every time they spoke. After a heated argument, his attitude toward her changes dramatically and sparks of a different sort begin to fly. Against her better judgment, Yancy takes the risk and gives Charles a chance. As she learns more about him, she truly wants to let go of her past, drop her defenses and try to trust him. It's a scary proposition for a woman who's learned the hard way, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
