Blurb:

Right time. Right place. Perfect woman.

Can a leopard really change its spots?

Normally, I’d say there’s no way.

But then, she has been the exception to my rule from day one.

We weren’t supposed to see each other again.

We weren’t supposed to fan the spark into an inferno.

There’s no turning back now.

All I have to do is convince her of one thing: Right time. Right place. Right Man.

*All I Need is the second book in the compelling All of Me Series and should be read after All I Want.

EXCERPT:

If I allow myself to bask in the warmth of his words, I’ll never leave his arms.

Only the love of my life stops me from giving in. While Rod’s words are enticing and inviting, nothing he said included Landen in his grand scheme for our life together. He made no mention of how my son fits into his plans, or about having more children together to complete our family.

“Hey, Landen. Come sit with your mom and me for a little while.”

When Rod motions for him to join us, Landen’s eyes light up and the biggest smile I’ve ever seen covers his face. He darts toward us, skidding to a stop beside our lounge chair while trying to decide where he’ll fit.

“You want me to sit with you?” Landen doesn’t even look at me. His attention is solely on Rod, waiting on bated breath for his answer.

I must be blind because this is the first time I’ve seen how badly Landen wants a father-figure in his life. Though I try to push the emotions threatening to overtake me back down my throat, I’m struggling with this sudden revelation. Now I know exactly how Rod felt when he realized how different his family could’ve been all these years they’ve been on their own.

“Of course we want you to sit with us.” Rod slides us over to one side and pulls Landen to sit beside him.

Tracy catches my attention when her hand flies up to cover her mouth and her eyes pop out of her head. But when she visibly fights against the unshed tears in her eyes, I lose my breath. The temptation to look at what’s happening behind me is too much to resist.

Stupidly, I turn in Rod’s arms to catch a quick glimpse of my son.

Rod has an arm wrapped protectively around my little man.

Landen is snuggled next to Rod, with his head lying against the side of Rod’s chest. Pure delight radiates from his face. He’s relaxed and carefree, sheltered and protected, as a child should be.

Guilt begins to build in my chest until I’m sure the weight of it will crush me. I’ve deprived my son of the male bonding he’s needed because I couldn’t overcome my past. When I swore off men more than seven years ago, I thought I was protecting him. Maybe I was only protecting myself and using him as an excuse.

I turn back around, squeeze my eyes shut, and try to rein in my emotions by controlling my breathing. My heart pounds against the inside of my chest and my hands shake.

“Landen, we need to talk, man to man.”

“Okay.”

“What do you think about your mom being my girlfriend? Is that okay with you?” Rod sounds as though he truly cares about Landen’s opinion.

“I guess so. What about me?” His voice sounds so small and unsure all of a sudden.

“We’d never leave you out, little buddy. Your mom and I may go on dates alone sometimes, but you can stay with Louise and Isa until we get home. Other times, all of us will spend time together. Does that work?”

“That. Sounds. Awesome. Have you already asked her to be your girlfriend? My friend, Alec, asked this girl in our class to be his girlfriend. He passed a note across the room to her and everything. But she checked the ‘no’ box.”

“I was actually just asking her before you came over here, but I thought I’d better get your approval first. As long as I have your okay, I’ll ask her now.”

“Ask her.” Landen may think he’s whispering, but he’s not. At all. “She could say no, though. But don’t feel bad. It happens to a lot of guys.”

“Daisy, Landen, and I have been talking. We’ve come up with the best idea anyone has ever had in the history of brilliant thoughts. Will you join our super exclusive club of awesomeness… as my girlfriend?”

Landen chuckles behind me, wiggling in his seat from his excitement. “We have our own club. You should join us, Mom.”

“Check yes or no, Daisy.” Rod playfully taunts, earning more snickering from Landen.

How can I resist such an alluring offer?

“Yes, I’ll join your super exclusive club of awesomeness.”

“As my girlfriend?” Rod prods.

“As your girlfriend.” I nod and squeeze my eyes shut.

This hole under my feet is just getting deeper and deeper, and I’m the one holding the shovel.

When I open my eyes, I’m mortified to find my entire family is watching us intently, with their mouths hung open and their eyes wide. Mom wipes tears from her eyes as Dad wraps his arm around her with a huge grin on his face. Tracy’s eyebrows draw downward, her fingers cover her lips, and her eyes wordlessly ask if I’m sure about this. Kevin slowly nods in approval and has a satisfied smirk on his face.

They’re all happy for me in their own way, for their own reasons.

But none of them know my full story.

Not even one.
