For Patrick Stevens less means more!
Patrick Stevens is a great teacher. All of his “kids” say so—except Emily Patterson’s oldest son, Jason. Jason is Patrick’s lone failure—the one student he couldn’t reach.
And that’s too bad, because when Patrick and Emily are thrown together on a project, Patrick realizes he’d really like to get to know Emily better. If only she didn’t come complete with those four sons….
Now Elmwood Elementary’s missing field-trip money requires the two of them to join forces. Tracking down lost deposits and organizing emergency bake sales puts the former chemist right in Emily’s whirlwind path. Winning her over would be tricky enough without two energetic boys running the living room on red fruit punch.
Worse, teenage Jason has elevated protective sabotage to an art form, stranding Patrick on the front porch with stone-cold pizza. Between chaotic car washes and stolen slow dances, the quiet bachelor must convince four skeptical brothers that he is ready for the whole rowdy family.
Can an orderly former chemist win over four protective sons before their pranks derail the romance for good?
