The Right Brother (paperback)

Her ex's brother? No way. Even if … 

Seasons in a Small Town – Summer
Pretty, popular Jennifer once seemed to be the girl who had it made. Queen of the prom and everything else in small-town Drago, Illinois. She always knew appearances could be deceiving.

And then her no-good ex-husband walked out on her and their daughter, leaving behind debt, blame, and doubts. Jennifer rises to the challenge, vowing to show them all that she can make her own way, especially her vulnerable young daughter. But who’d expect a dusty old car dealership might turn out to be her saving grace.

Or will it – and Trent Stenner – be her downfall?

Yes, that Trent Stenner. A former NFL football star turned successful executive now returning to his hometown, who also happens to be her ex’s brother.

And now he’s also seeing value in the dealership that once was a thriving family business. But that’s where their plans diverge. Jennifer’s for selling, Trent’s for rescuing.

Trent respects Jennifer’s whipsmart business approach and admires her mothering of his unsettled niece. But surely he could help out a little … and maybe explore the chemistry between them. Despite family tangles that would challenge an escape artist.

It’s that rescuing tendency of his that makes Jennifer uneasy about Trent. She’s finding her independence, proving her abilities, and modeling that for her daughter. She’s not about to back off from those advances. Even when they’re working closely together. Very closely…

The Right Brother, Book 2 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Seasons in a Small Town series, will captivate readers who love passionate contemporary romance with a spark of humor.
