Broken Blood Ties

Summer Smith
I fled to Boston years ago, leaving behind a life I’ve tried to forget. After scraping to get by for most of that time, I became a preschool teacher. The joy these children bring almost makes me forget my past.

I fled to Boston years ago, leaving behind a life I’ve tried to forget. After scraping to get by for most of that time, I became a preschool teacher. The joy these children bring almost makes me forget my past.
Almost.
When the father of one of my students takes a special interest in me, I hesitate. He’s infuriating, and letting my guard down is a mistake.

When I struggle to balance work and fatherhood, my daughter’s preschool teacher calls me out. Yet despite how much Summer Smith annoys me, she’s beautiful, caring, and she breathes life into my dark world.
However, I catch her when she thinks I’m not paying attention, looking over her shoulder—she’s running from something. As leader of the Irish Mob, she’s safe with me, but I’m not prepared for her revelation. No one is.
