The small white gazebo didn't look like anything special.
But former "wild child" Deirdre McDaniel knew that
appearances could be deceiving. All her life she had felt
like an outsider in her own family. Now, as her own
idealistic daughter Emma comes of age, it's time to delve
into a Pandora's box of heartache . . .
Hard-nosed P.I. Jake Stone just wanted a happily-ever-after
with the passionate, fragile Deirdre. But the two of them
didn't have a chance unless he could help her face the past
and lay her demons to rest once and for all. That means
trusting him, a loner whose abrasive attitude belies the
honorable man beneath.
As they sift through the sorrows of the past, these two
guarded souls learn that true family resides in the shelter
of the heart.
