Forever: Jeffery and Letitzia's Story (A River City Novel Book 4)
http://amzn.com/B009MLQUKW
When Letitzia Sorrentino's father dies, she's left with her dad's construction company, but she really wants to be a developer. Family infighting gives her the chance to break out on her own, except she needs more money, and Jeffery Lister has exactly what she wants. Jeffery Lister is an obstetrician with an understaffed, time-consuming practice. He doesn't look at women like other men, until he sees Letitzia.
Letitzia wants a no strings attached relationship. She has her own agenda, and is busy building a new development company. She needs Jeffery Lister's money, but she doesn't want his heart, and she refuses to open her own. A hardhat world of steel beams and dirt has given her a tough, foul-mouthed exterior, but under all of it, she's very much a passionate woman, and it shows in everything she does. To her life is a game, and winning is everything. If you don't play, you automatically lose.
Jeffery Lister is a doctor and it's his passion. He'd love to have a wife and children, but he doesn't have time for them, and he knows it. Letitzia awakens something inside of him and he sees through Letitzia's hard façade. But getting her to admit that the sparks that fly between them is more than physical is going to a lot of patience.
Can two very strong, independent people with busy schedules ever admit to loving each other, especially when one has had her heart broken and is determined never to allow that to happen again?

Here's the blurb from THERE GOES THE GROOM, Book 2 of my Left at the Altar series.
Eight years ago Tony left Olivia at the altar. He was sure she didn't really want to marry him. Now he's back, and they're forced to work together.
Coming home isn't easy for Tony, because his father wanted him to work at a trade instead of going off to college. Their relationship is still unsteady. Even before Tony's return, Olivia began questioning the depth of her love for her fiancé, a man she chose because he was safe and reliable. Yet the last thing she wants is a loveless, faithless marriage like the one her parents suffered through.
When Tony, who never stopped loving her, insists her fiancé is the wrong man for her, Olivia sets out to prove him wrong. But the sexual chemistry between them is still strong, and so are her feelings for him. Even so, how can she break her engagement, hurt her fiancé as she was once hurt? And how can she trust Tony not to abandon her as he did before?
If anyone does the jilting this time, she will.
Thanks!
