Summary

LOVE FROM OUT OF THE BLUE

Paul Anderson is an overworked small town doctor and single dad who needs someone to care for his house and his dynamite twin two-year-old sons. The stunning and curvaceous red-head in his waiting room seems absolutely perfect—too perfect maybe. Lila is as kind and caring as she is sexy and Paul thinks she's an angel come down from heaven...and he's not far off.

But Lila didn't travel all this way just for full-time employment; she wants her freedom...and has had Paul Anderson specifically in mind for something important since well before they ever met.

Because Paul has been designated as the ideal male, the one man who can give Lila exactly what she needs to complete her mission in thirty days.

And it all starts with one special kiss.
