Surrendering His Heart (Buena Hills #4)

Hes lost his faith in love—and himself.

Shes not ready for an instant family.

Happily ever after never felt so out of reach.

Christian Gustafson has it all: all the bills, all the chores, and all the responsibilities of raising his two young daughters alone. Between his demanding job, a never-clean house, and his oldest childs struggles, he barely has time to sleep. So why is he designing a website for his best friends sister? Right. To repay him for his endless support in the three years since the divorce. One website. Thats all. Even if Hallies calming presence and unwavering kindness make him feel like his head and his heart are in an all-out war.

All her life, Hallie Abernathy has only wanted one thing: her very own bakery. Except taking Hallies Cakes from a college side gig to a full-time operation is about to tank her bank account. Now the website shes creating—a last ditch effort to expand her reach—is giving her grief. Thankfully, her brother enlists his best friend to help, with one important caveat: Dont fall for Christian. Okay, no problem. She has all she can manage keeping her dreams afloat without his kids in tow. But could his help be exactly what she needs to save her business—and complete her heart?

Amidst their rising doubts, can they cling to their growing connection? Or will fear keep them apart forever?
