Strike the Match (The Teacup Novellas, #2)

The last place Keri McMillan wants to be is back home in Waterford Bay, Oregon. But after two years at prestigious New York University pursuing a degree in journalism, her bank account is drained. Keri is determined to move home for one year - and one year only—- to make some serious money working for her dad’s log cabin company. But Keri watches her goals go up in smoke when the company’s new showcase home burns to the ground.

Six months ago, Grant Dawson bought the Waterford Weekly, a small newspaper in his father’s hometown. Burned out as a reporter for the L.A. Times, he welcomed the slower pace of this Oregon coastal town and the more relaxed lifestyle producing a weekly paper.

Grant is surprised at his unexpected interest in Keri, the niece of columnist Nita Sanders. When Keri shows up at a log cabin fire in the middle of the night, she’s not the geeky college kid he expected. But he’s not about to fall victim to Nita’s orchestrations.

Even if her niece is beautiful.
And vulnerable.
And apparently in need of a job.
