Dylan Sullivan, a renowned boat builder, has spent his entire life sailing around the world.
But while he’s always enjoyed the freedom of the ocean, when Grace Adrian shows up at his
Seattle boathouse to interview him for a magazine, it’s love at first sight. Love for both Grace and
her ten-month-old son, Mason, with whom Dylan has an immediate bond. And every moment they
spend together makes Dylan more and more certain that a love like theirs is worth risking
everything for.
A year and a half ago, Grace’s entire world turned upside down. Not only did she learn that
she was pregnant, she also found out that she was nothing but a dirty little secret to her boyfriend
and his elite Washington, D.C., family. Since then, Grace has been rebuilding her life in Seattle,
giving one hundred percent of her attention to her son and her freelance writing career. Believing
she can never risk her heart—or her son’s—again, especially to a man like Dylan who could sail
away at any moment, Grace tries desperately to guard her heart from the charismatic and sexy
sailor.
For as sweet and protective as Dylan is during the day, at night when one incredibly hot kiss
turns into so much more, Grace simply can’t find a way to stop herself from tumbling into his
arms. But can she ever learn to trust in love again?
A note from Bella:
After writing more than a dozen stories about the Sullivan family, I’m not only more in love
with them than ever, I’m also amazed by the way each of them surprises me while I’m writing his or
her story. After I finished writing the draft of
I Love How You Love Me
and began rereading it to
polish it up for publication, I realized that somewhere along the way Dylan Sullivan had risen in the
ranks to become one of my new favorite heroes.
It’s love at first sight for him when he first meets Grace Adrian and her ten-month-old son...and
boy, does he show her how much he adores her over and over and over throughout the book. I love
heroes like him—sweet and protective, but also
so
incredibly sexy. I hope you fall just as hard for
Dylan, Grace, and little Mason as I have!
If this is your first time reading about the Sullivans, you can easily read each book as a stand-
alone—and there is a Sullivan family tree available on my website (http://bellaandre.com/wp-

so you can see how the books connect together.
Happy reading,
Bella Andre

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
CHAPTER ONE
Grace Adrian needed Dylan Sullivan. Badly enough that when the babysitter she’d scheduled to
watch her ten-month-old son bailed on her at the last second, she strapped Mason into the backseat of
her car and headed down to the Seattle harbor with him.
Fifteen minutes later, she pulled into the parking lot beside Dylan’s boathouse. Mason, who had
been happily gnawing on his favorite stuffed giraffe during the drive, immediately lifted his arms to
her when she opened the rear door.
“I’ve got to unstrap you first, cutie.” The second he was free, he all but jumped into her arms.
She closed her eyes as she caught him and cuddled him close. The past year and a half hadn’t been
easy, but she wouldn’t trade her son, or her immense love for him, for anything.
Grace had plenty of regrets...but Mason wasn’t one of them.
She was just shifting him to her hip so that she could straighten out her navy-blue suit when he
whimpered. “Do you want to take your giraffe with you?” She handed it to him, but he batted it out of
her hand. “We’ll have to clean him before you put him back in your mouth,” she said in a gentle voice
as she picked up the stuffed toy from the ground and put it into the car, “but don’t worry, I have
another one of your favorite toys.” Mason immediately began to shake the multicolored circular rattle
she handed him.
Grace did her best to adjust her clothes, then ran a hand through her long, dark hair in an effort
to look as professional as possible while she spoke with Dylan. At least, she hoped she was going to
speak to him today, given that he hadn’t returned a single one of her phone messages over the past
week. She would have sent him an email if she could have found a website or email address for him,
but he was one of the few people on the planet who didn’t seem to have either. Which was, she’d
decided, just plain weird. How did he run his business if people couldn’t reach him?
“Time to go track down the elusive Mr. Sullivan,” she said to Mason as they headed together
across the parking lot.
Her son bore down hard with his gums on his toy by way of response, but it was good enough
for Grace. She’d become a master at one-sided conversations during the past ten months, and it was
amazing just how much she could find to say on her end, even when the only response she ever got
was a gurgle, giggle, or wail.
“Let’s pray that he’s nice and willing to cooperate.”
The strange thing was how little information she’d been able to find about Dylan. No
interviews, nothing where he was talking himself up. What kind of man didn’t want to promote
himself? Especially when he was not only one of the most respected wooden-sailboat makers on the
West Coast, and a multi-winning sailboat racer, but he was also related to some of the wealthiest—
and most well-known—people in the world, including a movie star, two rock stars, and a billionaire
CEO.
It was only one of the many questions she needed to ask him.
But while she hadn’t been able to find much written information about him on the Internet, she’d
found plenty of pictures. Grace had vowed never to be wowed by a pretty face ever again, but that
didn’t mean she didn’t notice a good-looking guy when she saw one. And there was no doubt
whatsoever that Dylan was a very attractive man.
Still, she couldn’t help but think he’d be a heck of a lot more attractive if he actually returned
one of her phone calls.
