About
Accidental Family:
Welcome to Pecan Valley, where the town may be small but the
townspeople will always lend a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. Where
good times, good humor, and good people will always lead to happily ever after.
Life for Felicity, and her teen children, is finally back on
track. After her divorce, she wasn’t sure if her sweet family would ever be the
same. But things are good––right up until her ex’s spirited toddler lands on
Felicity’s doorstep. If the universe is going to throw lemons at her, thank God
she has her best friend, Graham, to help her make lemonade out of them. How did
she never notice how kind and sexy he is?
Graham is still recovering from his wife’s death years ago
and trying to help his teen daughter get her life together. Who is he kidding?
His daughter hates him. Forget lemons––he’s got the entire lemon tree. So when
Felicity suggests they join forces and help each other, he’s all in. And
suddenly he can’t stop thinking about her as more than just a friend. Too bad
their timing couldn’t be worse… Because life rarely goes as planned. Luckily
there are many different kinds of family to hold you together and lift you
up...plus maybe even a little love between friends.

Exclusive Excerpt:
Felicity
was too busy wondering how they managed to keep everything white with a toddler
running around. There were no toys, no babyproofing, no books—no sign that a
toddler lived here. It was gorgeous, in a stark Architectural Digest sort
of way. High ceilings. Open concept. A massive abstract painting over a
fireplace—a white marble fireplace. “It’s very white,” she murmured. And
cold.
Charity
laughed. “It’s sophisticated, Filly.”
Felicity shrugged and
headed into the kitchen. The kitchen was the heart of her home—the place they
all congregated on stools and around her beloved wooden farm table. This was
all clean lines and chrome. It looked pokey. And cold.
She
pulled the cart behind her, opening cabinets and drawers, pulling out all the
child-size utensils, bowls, sippy cups, bottles, and bibs she could find,
filling one grocery bag to the top. The refrigerator was empty, minus a few
jars of organic baby food and some almond milk. Was the almond milk for Jack?
Did he have digestive issues? Matt didn’t. That left Jack. Or Amber.
“Charity,”
she called out. “We need to find Jack’s vaccination records. And any medical
stuff—his pediatrician’s name would be even better.” The steel front of the
refrigerator was blank, no magnets, no notes, nothing. “His birth certificate.
All that stuff.”
“Maybe
in her office?” Charity called back. “Looks like she worked from home a
lot. I’ll see what I can find.”
“Thank
you.” She already felt like she was trespassing. Digging through Amber’s
things, learning about Amber and Matt’s life—thank God Charity was here. She
flipped off the kitchen lights and tugged the wagon down the hall. The exterior
wall was mostly windows, giving her a clear view of the outside world. A world
she didn’t belong in. She hurried along, eager to find the nursery.
Considering
how very white everything was, the grouping of photos on the interior wall
stopped her. Amber and Matt on some snow-covered mountain somewhere. They’d
gone to Paris and Italy… A picture of Amber pregnant. And one of the three of
them. She knew Matt’s smiles like the back of her hand. These were real smiles.
He’d been happy in this new, whitewashed world.
It
hurt like hell. It shouldn’t matter that he’d worn that same happy smile for
her. But, dammit, it did. There had been so many smiles and special moments and
fun travels and real-life struggles they’d made it through together. Time,
seventeen years, and there wasn’t a shred of evidence here that those years had
existed. They’d been erased, leaving his past as blank as these walls. How
empty that would feel to her. Whatever pain he’d caused her, their children
deserved his presence in their lives.
