Part 52 (2/2)
”I'm capable of building a thirty-story structure. I think I can handle cleaning a few hotel rooms.”
Maddie studied his supremely handsome face. ”All right.” What else could she do? She couldn't afford to lose her job, so she had no choice but to let him help her. ”Since you seem determined to make it up to me, I accept.”
He flashed a victorious smile. ”Excellent. Now what about the kids? Could I be your arms and legs there, too?”
”Have you ever changed a diaper? Seriously?”
”No,” he confessed, quickly adding, ”but I'm a fast learner. If you tell me what to do, I'll do it.”
He'd be saving her life if he stepped in for her, but wait until he saw what the summer people were capable of doing to a hotel room. Just the idea of a mighty McCarthy stooping to the level of manual laborer at the hotel his family owned brought a smile to her face. She offered her uninjured hand. ”Deal.”
He shocked her again when he took her hand and brushed a soft kiss over the back of it. ”Excellent. Now, let me go find your purse and see about getting you some lunch.”

What others are saying about Marie Force's books:.
”I always look forward to a Marie Force release. She manages to create lovable characters who can get a reader to fall in love with them in as little as five words (Hi, my name is...). There is something special about the group that lives on Gansett Island. It's always enjoyable to be able to reconnect with our friends from previous stories, drop in on their lives or meet new friends. They're a fun, friendly, loving group of people who make you want to go back to Gansett Island again and again.”
