The Best Mistake by Nora Roberts

A single mother finds her heart tempted by an unlikely father figure in The Best Mistake, a novella from the bestselling author Nora Roberts.

Zoe Fleming left behind her modeling career to raise her son Keenan in an atmosphere less consumed with surface appearances. But her post-model jobs barely cover expenses, so she opens her home to a tenant, sportswriter J. Cooper McKinnon. For a man who likes to talk a big game, Zoe must admit that Coop knows how to score by genuinely befriending Keenan. And when Coop turns his attention—and affection—to Zoe, she finds herself more than willing to engage him in the sport of love.
