"This is a great love story!"
Cinnamon Smith arrives in Cranberry, Oregon to visit her best friend Fran and to nurse her broken heart, after losing her job over a love affair gone wrong. She doesn't want to see another man for a long time. Her friend Fran has been asking her to come visit ever since she inherited the Oceanside Bed and Breakfast from her aunt. Once there, Cinnamon meets the handsome Nick Mahoney, whom she's attracted to right way. As soon as he offers to help with her luggage, she realizes he's going to be dangerous to her fragile heart.
Nick thinks Cinnamon is the most beautiful woman he's seen in a long time--so he had better keep his distance! But he knows that working as Fran's handyman is going to make that hard, and just meeting her has stirred up a lot of ideas of what he would like to do with Cinnamon.
When the Mayor of Cranberry calls an emergency meeting to see if anyone can come up with any ideas that could help save the town's cranberry factory, the town's most important employer, Cinnamon attends with Fran. She has an idea. She and Nick work together on the plans to save the company and she realizes she's falling in love with Nick.
But Nick has a secret, and his secret means he isn't somebody he thinks Cinnamon can love.
The Man She'll Marry is a wonderfully written romance and well worth the read. Without giving away Nick's secret, I can say that the revelation of it was one reason I really liked this book. The author gave me a hero with a very human flaw, and yet he wasn't less of a man because of it. Nick and Cinnamon have great chemistry together. This is a great love story!

What if Mr. Wrong is really Mr. Right?
Not What She Expected
After a painful breakup and the loss of her job, Cinnamon Smith feels there's only one place she can go--her best friend Fran's bed-and-breakfast in the small town of Cranberry, Oregon. The first person she meets on her arrival is Nick Mahoney, Fran's handyman. Cinnamon's attraction to Nick is immediate, and the feeling is definitely mutual.
All That She Wants
But Cinnamon has spent years working toward a certain kind of like, a life she can't have with Nick. Spending time in Cranberry, and with him, is beginning to change all that. Then she gets a job offer that would put her career goals back on track... Which means Cinnamon has to choose between the life she's always wanted and the love that's right in front of her.
