The words may have been said silently, but to her, it sounded as if they’d bounced off the kitchen walls straight at Logan. The idea was frightening. She’d told herself that this was an affair, nothing permanent, and that she didn’t want to remarry. This time more than her heart was in danger—so was her son’s.

All that didn’t stop her from looking at Logan as if he was the best thing in her life. He leaned against the counter, his hair as rumpled as his clothing due to a late-night emergency. He’d always been handsome, but when had he become downright irresistible? He fidgeted with a fortune-cookie wrapper.

Lucy covered the distance between them and took the cookie from him. “You don’t need this to tell your fortune. I can tell you.” Through a wicked smile she whispered in his ear, and instantly Logan swept her up in his arms.

For once in her life, Lucy wanted to take what she could get. Enjoy the moment and not worry about what might happen tomorrow.

If Scarlett O’Hara could do it, so could she.

Dear Reader,

When the Walker siblings first appeared in My Little One, I had no idea they would be featured in three more books. I’ve had a lot of fun creating the right soul mate for each sibling, but as you know, I didn’t make it easy for them.

Lucy Donner was introduced in Two Little Secrets when she secretly set up her hairdresser, Ginna Walker, with her brother, Zach Stone. It seemed only fair that someone do the same for the single mother. I always knew it would be too predictable for Ginna to be the one finding Mr. Right for Lucy. Not when Lucy’s son, Nick, now a teenager, could come up with a devious plan that involves local veterinarian Logan Kincaid. Before Lucy knows it, she has a terrier puppy and is working at Logan’s animal clinic. And along the way, she falls in love with Logan.

As with the previous books, the rest of the Walker family are present to add to the mix.

I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about the Walkers as much as I’ve enjoyed writing about them.

Prologue Prologue The small, dimly lit room was a contrast to the bright lights and merriment in the nearby reception hall. It was the perfect meeting place for the two conspirators who faced each other. “I have to say, young man, that your note was intriguing. Are you now going to reveal why we have to have this meeting in private?” The deep voice rumbled as the man settled back in a chair. He eyed the boy facing him. He was impressed that even under his stern gaze, the boy didn’t waver as he spoke. “It’s very simple.” The boy kept his voice low. “I have a single mom. You have a single son. We both want to see them married off. There’s no reason why we can’t work together to accomplish our objectives.” The man chuckled. “I suppose you have a plan.” “Yes, I do. We’re already ahead because your son is hot for my mom.” The older man shook his head. “I’ve heard that she has told him she isn’t interested.” The boy shrugged off his statement. “Yeah, but that can change. I did some research on your son and what I’ve learned about him tells me he’s perfect for my mom. All she needs is some time to really get to know him.” “How do you expect to bring them together?” Nick Donner smiled. “I’ve worked up what I feel is a foolproof plan.” He then proceeded to outline his idea. The older man’s skepticism soon turned to interest as he listened to Nick. “I admit that I’m impressed. Do you honestly think something that wild could work?” “There is absolutely no reason why it won’t as long as you’re willing to do your part,” Nick said with unshakable confidence. An hour later, their plan was mutually approved with a handshake. Separately, the two participants slipped out of the room and returned to the reception hall just in time to watch Nora Summers Walker and her new husband, Mark Walker, cut the wedding cake. For the balance of the evening, the young man and his older partner didn’t do anything to betray their plan that, if successful, would bring them together for another wedding real soon.
