The Date Nobody Wanted — Celya Bowers

What if?
Your mother arranged a date for you and didn't tell you?
That's the question before widow Rianna Callahan-Duncan. Her overbearing and over protective mother meant well, but to set her up on a date without her position was too much to process at the moment. Ria, as she known, isn't ready to date. But tell that to Amelia Callahan.
Ria goes on the date and is pleasantly surprised. And instantly smitten with the history professor. He was tall, sexy and very knowledgeable about history and just about anything else. Can she have happiness twice in one lifetime?

Jason Carter didn't want to date. The bitter taste of his divorce from his English rose was still fresh in his mind and he wasn't ready to give any woman a chance. But his mother was determined to see him happy. She sets him on a date with Ria, and hopes for best.

When those two reluctant people meet, it was like a match had been lit. Passion entered the game and scares them both. Ria finds Jason a total opposite of her dead husband, the spy. He's a breath of fresh air. But Jason is still holding on the hurt of his first marriage. He can't seem to let go. Jason isn't ready for this size of a commitment or so he thinks. Once faced with the challenge of going back to being alone, he realizes there is only one option. Admit their mothers were right.
