All Shook Up - (Avon Romance) by Susan Andersen (Paperback)

About the Book

When an unexpected inheritance brings J.D. Carver to Star Lake Lodge, the sexy, street-wise man expects trouble. But though he thinks the warmly welcoming Lawrence clan must be working some sort of angle, a tiny part of him longs for their home-and-hearth life -- and the rest of him desires beautiful, former bad-girl and clearly off-limits Dru.

Book Synopsis

A Man With a Past

When an unexpected inheritance sends J.D. Carver to the Star Lake Lodge to claim his half, he's expecting trouble. Being greeted with open arms by the whole Lawrence gang--feisty Aunt Sophie and calm Uncle Ben, clearly off-limits Dru and her young son, Tate--just convinces him they're working an angle, and he's determined to uncover it. But a tiny part of him longs for the home-and-hearth life they have.

A Woman With a Reputation

Dru's finally beaten her bad-girl reputation, and though the Lodge may not be exciting, she's fiercely protective of her quiet home. Hard-eyed J.D.'s ability to push all her buttons just proves how wrong he is for her. So why does her son hero-worship the guy? And why does her heart clench when he gets that "nose pressed against the candy shop window" look on his face?
