Surrender to You (Carolina Rebels, #12)

Cal Kessy is coasting through life, simply existing. A blind date seems to be just the thing to turn his life around, yet Cal is tempted to run the other way after learning one particular fact about Jenet. On the other hand, Cal is too smitten to end things right away. Besides, life has a bigger curveball waiting for Cal, and his concern over his new girlfriend will be the least of his worries.  

Jenet Brown has her plate full, but finding love after an unsuccessful first marriage would be nice. Meeting Cal on a blind date seems like fate. Jenet has higher priorities than dating, like taking care of her daughter. When tragedy strikes Cal, her only option is to stick by him and help him through it, hoping he doesn't trample over her and her daughter's hearts in the process.  

Will Cal let life crush him beneath the weight of his choices or will he and Jenet come out on the other side, stronger and on a path toward lifelong happiness?
