Just What I Needed

Lauren Morrill

On her own for the very first time after her parents retire to Florida, Carson Webber can finally start her real life. Tired of being sheltered and ignored, she's got a plan to put herself out there. Armed with a dating app, a pair of roller skates, and a sunny disposition, she's running at life with arms wide open. Even if her new roommate, her best friend's broody older brother, has her blushing and stumbling every time she opens her mouth.

Dan McBride is good at keeping secrets. He's not talking about why he lost his job, or why he left New York. He's not telling anyone why his bank account is empty or why the federal government is investigating him. And he's certainly not talking about the way his little sister's best friend, the bubbly, sunshiny kindergarten teacher, makes him feel.

Then one disastrous date and a late-night drunken confession opens the door for a flood of secrets. Because it turns out the best person to help you be who you are is the one person who can't see you as anything else.

Just What I Needed is the third book in the Cardinal Springs series, but can be read as a standalone. It delivers humor, heat, and a guaranteed HEA!
