Dear Reader,

As the mother of teenage sons, I sometimes find myself scratching my head over the things they say and do—which reinforces my belief that men and women are indeed from different planets. My brother is in a similar situation with three young daughters, and that gave me an idea...

Josh Slater has no interest in marriage or children—and no clue what to do with the three little girls who are left in his care for the summer. Then Tristyn Garrett shows up at his door.

While Tristyn would never turn away from a friend in need, she has concerns about spending too much time with the man who was the (not-so-secret) object of her schoolgirl fantasies. On the other hand, maybe a summer fling is just what Tristyn needs to get over her longtime crush on Josh...

But playing house makes Josh appreciate the benefits of home and family—and yearn for the forever after he’s never admitted that he’s always wanted with Tristyn...

I hope you enjoy reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

All the best,

Brenda Harlen

PS: Although Tristyn is indeed The Last Single Garrett, I hope you look forward to meeting the new cast of characters in my next miniseries Match Made in Haven, coming soon from Harlequin Special Edition!
