Leo — Meredith Spies

The funeral business is burying me. Entrusted with Morris Funeral Home and Crematorium, the company that has been in my family for four generations, I fear it's going to go belly up under the growing pile of bills. But the troubles haunting me don't end there. My son's teachers don't seem to understand how to work with a kid like Eddie, leaving me zero time for myself.  Then there's Ambrose Jennings. The quirky baker is catering Delia Dennis' wake, and I can't seem to get him out of my head.  The last thing I need right now is any kind of romantic complications in my life. Still, Ambrose is boisterous fun and chaos wrapped up in a sexy, tempting package. Maybe one little taste of the baker's goods wouldn't be the end of the world?  When Ambrose gives me a sample of the sweet treats he has on offer, both of us ache for this to become more than a taste test. I don't know if it's enough to let go of my reservations, or if circumstances close the coffin on our chances for any future together.Leo is a single-dad romance in the shared world of Gaynor Beach. It's low-angst, opposites attract with the grumpy one soft for the sunshiny one featuring goth teen dance parties with way more glitter than expected, adorable kids who think piracy is a perfectly legitimate life goal, adults who need a reminder that life isn't all about work, and steamy Grumpy and Sunshiny scenes.
