Plot Summary of Dynamiting Daddy's Dream House
"Ex-mercenary Troy Garrett comes to California to raise his young daughter--only to see his new 'dream house' dynamited off the Malibu cliff. Builder Jill Villars isn't sure how the minor charge she set when digging a swimming pool destroyed the entire house, but she feels responsible--especially when she learns that Troy and his daughter Annie have no place else to go. But when she discovers that he wants her business, all of her old fears re-emerge. Still, the man is sexier than any male has a right to be and his bratty daughter Annie certainly grows on her.

It's a sexy and fun story about two people who can't be right for each other, but who somehow are."

Rob Preece, Resident Scholar
