North Country Stories #4
A Ready-Made Family
She's a day late and a dollar short...
Lia Howard Pogue is flat broke and on the run. Her only hope for a new start is to rely on the kindness of strangers. One in particular--the rough and tough ex-Army Ranger who's all hard muscle and soft heart. Jake Robbin is more than ready to put his wild youth behind him and settle down. If only he could skip the hassle of courtship and babies and messy emotions. What better time for Lia and her three kids to land on his doorstep!
Seems marriage would solve both their problems. Until Lia's ex shows up--and reminds her she could be making the same mistake all over again.

About the author
Carrie Alexander
101 books48 followersThere was never any doubt that Carrie Antilla would have a creative career. As a two-year-old, she imagined dinosaurs on the lawn. By six it was witches in the bedroom closet. Soon she was designing elaborate paper-doll wardrobes and writing stories about Teddy the Bear. Eventually she graduated to short horror stories and oil paints. She was working as an artist and a part-time librarian when she "discovered" her first romance novel and thought, "Hey, I can write one of these!" So she did.
Carrie Alexander is now the author of several books for various Harlequin lines, with many more crowding her imagination, demanding to be written. She has been a RITA and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice finalist, but finds her greatest reward in becoming friends with her readers, even if it's only for the length of a book.
Carrie lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the long winters still don't give her enough time to significantly reduce her to-be-read mountains of books. When she's not reading or writing (which is rare), she is painting and decorating her own or her friends' houses, watching football, and shoveling snow. She loves to hear from readers, who can contact her by e-mail: carriealexander1@aol.com

I had never read a Harlequin Romance before, so I thought it would be good to try one on my quest to read 113 books in 2013.
This sentence was actually in the book: His resistance was low for damsels in distress. Yikes.
And I didn't find the book at all romantic.
