Inspirational Romance

Rona Meyers is starting over. She had to make a clean break from her dysfunctional family. Her brother has betrayed her more than once, her marriage finally over; she needs a change of location. Rona remembers visiting the small town of She needs money and that means finding a job in a small town. When the local dinner waitress walks out Rona steps in and is offered a job.

Nick Thornton is intrigued by the helpful stranger to their small town. He would like Rona to take a position with him...at his home. Nick and his teenage son, Gary, need someone to take care of them.

Nick and Rona get to know each other very slowly. They have an attraction to each other but gun-shy about relationships, they take awhile to figure each other out. Eventually Rona takes the position as Nick's housekeeper and also to keep an eye out for Gary since he has been having some problems as of late.

Nick lives off the coast on a small island in a very large home. Nick and Rona's relationship blossoms, but not before some of Rona's past shows up unexpectedly. Nick and Rona must place trust in one another so they can find the love they deserve and make a family from the pieces they have been given.

There are many elements in this story, but the one element that stands out is how love can open up hearts, if you let it. FAMILY IN HIS HEART is a refreshing read, very positive in today's world of negativity, I enjoyed my first Love Inspired Romance. The location and setting is close to my heart as I live close to the area where the story transpires. It was very intriguing to read a fictional story taking place almost in your backyard. Ms. Martin is a talented writer. I highly recommend giving her a try.

SUMMARY

Businessman Nick Thornton couldn't help being impulsive. But he had no misgivings about hiring away the feisty new waitress at this favorite diner. After all, he could spot a person in need, and Rona Meyers needed a protector. Yet as he got to know her, he was humbled by her caring and no-nonsense attitude. Maybe he was the one in need---after all those long years he'd been struggling to keep his faith. With his sense of family shattered, Nick couldn't stop wondering if God wanted him to have a new beginning. And a new chance at love.
