She trusts animals more than men. He runs through women like tires. Will an orphaned child force them to change gears?
With her sister’s death, Nora’s life changed in an instant. Forced to raise her orphaned nephew, the animal rescuer doesn’t expect to be dumped and fired by her kid-hating boyfriend/boss. After her own close call and a message from beyond, Nora introduces the little boy to his handsome, fast-living absentee father.
Davey Johnson is a hot-shot NASCAR driver who never wanted to be slowed down by fatherhood. But when he finds out he has a nine-year-old son, he vows to be a better father than his old man. When his first efforts fail in a big way, he enlists Nora’s parenting help. But what starts as a chore transforms into something way hotter than a final lap.

Nora’s Promise is a contemporary romance with a new age twist. If you like fast cars, caring heroines, and sizzling chemistry, then you’ll love Sedona Hutton’s contemporary love story.
Excerpt:
Five minutes later, Davey arrived. He quickly spotted her,
but spent the next little while signing napkins, papers, and a ballcap as he
made his way toward her. With each interruption, Nora’s jaw clenched. By the
time he slid into the seat across from her, she was simmering with irritation.
“Glad you could finally make it,” she said, her voice heavy
with sarcasm.
He raised a single brow and nodded at her mug. “Haven’t had
enough caffeine this morning?”
When Davey turned to look for the waitress, she shot over
faster than Nora could blink.
Nora rolled her eyes while Davey laid on the charm. She had
to admit he was good-looking. That is if you liked the sun-kissed blond,
blue-eyed, tall, lean look. And apparently, the waitress did. As Davey signed
her order pad, she hung on his every word. She told him that he’d had a great
season and that she had cried after he’d wrecked in some race.
Cried? Seriously?
It was a race, not a matter of life and death. Finally, she took Davey’s order
for a cup of coffee. When she started to walk away, Davey touched her arm and
the woman turned back. Her eyes sparkled and her face flushed as she glanced
back and forth between Davey’s hand on her arm and his face. “Amber, could you
also bring Nora—” he nodded in her direction “—another tea?” His lips ticked up
into an obnoxious grin. “She seems to be a little short on caffeine this
morning.”
After Amber pulled herself together and made her way toward
the kitchen, Nora pinned a look on Davey. “It must be exhausting to be you.”
