How is Brent Runyan supposed to reach his troubled nephew? The workaholic businessman knows nothing about providing a real home to the orphaned boy who needs him so much. Special education teacher Molly Manning thinks the answer is threefold: love, time—and a dog. But Brent can barely let his nephew into his heart, let alone a golden retriever. With his tragic past, Brent knows what can happen when you love anything: you can lose it. Until Molly asks this dad-in-training to start with the basics by letting her stay...forever.

This was my first Harlequin, Steeple Hill Inspirational Romance. I loved it! I am so happy it was this story with Gail Gaymer Martin as the author. She has such a beautiful way of wording things. From now on when I'm standing in front of the books at my local department store I'm going to be looking for two things: Inspirational books and more to the point books by Ms. Martin. She's an author to watch out for and one I believe was born to pen such magical tales. I truly cannot wait to see what else she brings to the publishing world for us.
