Sealed With A Slap (Raise A Glass, #8)

He had his one love...
The love of Sean Young's life died when he was twenty. Ever since, the only woman in his life has been his daughter. He likes it that way, especially as she breathes down the neck of her teenage years, giving him new gray hairs every day.
She always keeps her distance...
Erin Carter hasn't had a family since she was sixteen, but she's spent her career as a psychologist helping other families have everything she missed out on. Trust, togetherness, and above all, love.
They are not friends...
It's hate at first sight for Erin and Sean. He thinks she's haughty and sticks her nose in where it doesn't belong, namely his relationship with his daughter. She thinks he's a stuck-up jerk, to say the least. There's definitely no love lost between them.
When Erin becomes friends with Sean's sister, they have no choice but to spend time together. There are more than a few fireworks between them as enemies, and not all of them are outside the bedroom.

Mary E Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she would fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the covers trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light from her ereader means she doesn't have a flashlight, but she still stays up way too late to finish a book.
When Mary's not reading she's playing with her two kids or living our her own romance novel with her hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate, especially when it's paired with peanut butter, and has been known to have a bad day just because there's no chocolate in the house.
Mary grew up in Buffalo, NY and swears she's the only local to never ski or snowboard. Soccer was always her sports, with a couple adventures white water rafting and skydiving to keep things interesting. Mary moved to South Carolina for college but has missed Buffalo every day, yeah she thinks she's crazy too. Her dream is to move back to her hometown and raise her kids there, close to family and friends.
