Entrepreneur Alec O'Donnell specializes in helping people in crisis. He’s built his company and career on packing up lives as people start over. It's just business until he meets Mallory.

My Review:
College professor, Mallory Fredrick and Alec O’Donnell meet
when Mallory needs a moving company to help her move some of her things from
Santa Fe, New Mexico, to her sister’s house in Seguin, Texas. Mallory, a college professor took a sabbatical
after a student attacked her on social media.
She was fearful of what he might try next. Along the drive to Texas, Mallory and Alec
become good friends and they start having feelings for each other. Mallory doesn’t really want a relationship,
but Alec refuses to give up. He even goes
as far as inviting Mallory to his family reunion in Santa Fe, which Mallory
accepts. But, that was when Mallory
found out something about Alec’s family that scared her back to Texas as fast
as she could get there. Now Alec must work
extra hard to get Mallory back and to help her overcome her fears.
I enjoyed this book a lot.
The characters were believable and the story kept me interested the
entire time I was reading. There was romance along with a bit of suspense to
keep the story moving along nicely. There
was even a Persian cat named Bella who stole quite a few scenes.
