Perfect Homecoming by Danielle Stewart

Carmen’s life is on hold. Hiding away in Italy has been her only option. Gloria Kinross has provided her with safety for years. But now it is time to move on. Like a bird unceremoniously kicked from the nest, Carmen isn’t sure her wings will even work anymore. When she sets her sights on a dangerous plan involving revenge and vigilantism, she knows she’s asking for trouble. She also knows she can’t do it alone.

Brian O’Malley can’t help himself. If there is trouble to get into, he’s the first to sign up. The rest of the O’Malley family has struck out on new endeavors and lucrative careers. Brian fights the changes and decides working the docks and living in his rundown childhood home still feels right to him.

Carmen needs a fighter and Brian needs a battle; these two become the perfect pair. Things begin to sizzle when their plan forces them closer than either imagined. Will his strength destroy her scheme? Will her past extinguish the heat between them?
