Synopsis:

Burke Black wanted something he could live with, but ended up finding someone he could live for. Book 1 of Jamesville Dani O'Rourke has had the responsibility of raising her two brothers, Patrick and Shamus, since the death of their parents. As sole owner and operator of O'Rourke Cleaning Services, she is no stranger too hard work, but she is a beginner when it comes to men. Burke is a very rich and successful businessman whose brush with death has made him question his priorities. He's traveled to Jamesville for peace and quiet while he plans the rest of his life. Their lives collide when Burke accuses her of breaking into his cabin to steal from him. Their attraction to each other is immediate, and after a series of misunderstandings he finds himself caught up in the lives of Dani and her brothers. But can this gentle, giving woman get a man as hard and cynical as Burke to believe in the power of love? Or will Burke leave town without ever discovering the wonders of life with Dani?

A very sweet contemporary romance, "Discovering Dani" is an interesting dpearture from N.J.Walter's more normal erotic offerings. The plot is more realistic and the small town setting provides a very homey feel to the Jamesville series.

Burke is a rich, successful, self-made businessman. His hard past has taught him to look out for himself and that others do the same. After a serious injury, his slow recuperation provides him with too much to do nothing but think and review his life. He decides to sell out and change his direction in some way, searching for something more even if he's not sure exactly what.

Dani hasn't let life get her down. When her parents died, she quit school and began working to keep her two younger brothers together with herself as a family. She doesn't regret it, but she does sometimes think about the things she's missed and wonder if this is all her life will be.

When these two meet, Burke first mistakes her for a boy, then later a burglar. Not the most auspicious beginning! I found Burke rather hard, but a man with his past would be. Dani was a little too naive and sweet, but maybe in small towns such a thing is still possible. Their problems were all too real and their differences take quite of bit of time and effort to work through.

A very satisfying love story. Just not what I normally expect from N.J.Walters. The first book in this series reads more like a mid-heat Harlequin than the blistering erotica I normally read by this author.
