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.
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.
