Love Under Two Financiers
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Contemporary, Menage, Romantic Suspense, Western/Cowboy, MFM, HEA]
Leesa Jordan’s attracted to Jason Benedict and his cousin, Phillip. Jason’s not her ex-husband, but dare she take a chance on the two compelling men?
Jason and Phillip arrived in Lusty on the night of Jason’s sister’s engagement party. They both need time off, and it’s Phillip’s hope they’ll have that here. Then Grandma Kate makes them an offer: stay and get to know this side of their family.
Both Jason and Phillip are drawn to Leesa. Phillip has known what he wants since he learned of Lusty and their unique take on family. Now if only he can bring his best friend Jason and the woman he already loves, Leesa to the same page.
And then trouble comes in the form of Leesa’s ex-husband and news from a former comrade in arms.

I’m especially grateful to the Lusty Ladies, my readers’ group. Time is a precious commodity, and many of you continue to give me yours. My thanks also go to Angie Buchannan Jones and Lisa Buchanan Phillips, two wonderful women who volunteered to be moderators of the group.
I’m also grateful to Angie for being a beta reader, and for her remarkable talent of graphic design that she shares with me. Angie, I love the banners and the memes you make for me for each new release. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Huge thanks to the professional men and women at Siren-Bookstrand. This is my 62nd title for Siren, and I am honored to be an exclusive author. Huge thanks to Devin, my amazing editor, for holding my feet to the fire. I was especially grateful for your dedication this time, my friend, as this book was written under less than ideal conditions.
And of course, as always, thank you Amanda Hilton. You changed my life when you said yes in 2006; that is a blessing I will never take for granted, and never forget.
DEDICATION
To my husband of soon to be 48 years, David. You were the first one to believe in me and put actions to words to prove it. We miss you, Mr. Tuffy. We’re going to adopt one of your sons—and we’ll see you at the rainbow bridge.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Morgan Ashbury, also writing as Cara Covington, has been a writer since she was first able to pick up a pen. In the beginning, it was a hobby, a way to create a world of her own, and who could resist the allure of that? Then, as she grew and matured, life got in the way, as life often does. She got married and had three children, and worked in the field of accounting, for that was the practical thing to do, and the children did need to be fed. And all the time she was being practical, she would squirrel herself away on quiet Sunday afternoons and write.
Most children are raised knowing the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. Morgan’s children also learned the Paper Rule: Thou shalt not throw out any paper that has thy mother’s words upon it.
Believing in tradition, Morgan ensured that her children’s children learned this rule, too.
Life threw Morgan a curve when, in 2002, she underwent emergency triple bypass surgery. Second chances are to be cherished, and with the encouragement and support of her husband, Morgan decided to use hers to do what she’d always dreamed of doing—writing full-time.
Morgan has always loved writing romance. It is the one genre that can incorporate every other genre within its pulsating heart. Romance showcases all that humankind can aspire to be. And, she admits, she’s a sucker for a happy ending.
Morgan’s favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, and traveling—though she would rather you didn’t mention that last one to her husband. She has too much fun teasing him about having become a “Traveling Fool” of late.
Morgan is blessed to have two surviving children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She lives in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, with her husband of forty-seven years, fellow retiree and aspiring author, David.

Chapter One
“Conceited jerk.” Leesa Jordan muttered and mumbled other words as she scoured the shelves of supplies in the storage room just off the kitchen at Lusty Appetites. Those first two words hadn’t helped to expel her ire one little bit.
“Narcissistic prick.”
Nope, that hadn’t done it, either. Both descriptions accurately reflected her feelings about the scene she’d just witnessed as Jason Benedict had
