Inheriting a mausoleum of a house from his Aunt Beulah was
not the quick money maker Jordan Tanner expected. Besides
the Victorian home, he also inherits a group of charity
cases and misfits. Melody is a fortune teller, Rodney is an
old gentleman who has lost his wife, an elderly lady, and
then there's Nell. Nell Hart is the tiny young woman who
keeps things running between the repairs and takes care of
the needy residents. As the caretaker, this is Nell's safe
harbor. She can afford to keep herself afloat while working
towards adopting her niece and nephew, Lacey and Jacob.
Nell's sister is now dead and the father of her children is
the man responsible.
Nell's dream is to buy a farm and open a garden and nursery
business. Not believing herself to be an equal to Tanner,
she finds it doesn't seem to stop either of them from
feeling a definite physical and mental connection. Falling
in love with Nell upsets Tanner's plans when he discovers
that love is far more important than success. Nell is
threatened with losing the children to their abusive father
and Tanner prepares to turn the world upside down to protect
Nell and her wards. Hurt feelings and misunderstandings
threaten to blow everyone's dreams apart.
A DELIBERATE FATHER is an exceptionally emotional but
amusing tale of a young woman who takes care of everyone but
herself. She always comes last putting all her wishes and
dreams aside until she meets the man that loves her enough
to give her what she truly deserves. Tanner is a gorgeous
professional man who lacks the power to walk away from which
he desires the most. I loved the warm considerate character
of Nell. Putting everything she desires aside for the
smallest of needs by everyone else. I will definitely read
more from the talented Kate Kelly, as she expresses warmth
and love through her characters and her writing.
Falling for a woman with kids was never part of Jordan
Tanner's plans. His intention was to quickly sell the
building he's inherited and pave the way to financial
freedom. Yet the moment he encounters Nell Hart—and her
niece and nephew—all his goals fly out the window. Something
about her zest and her passion leave him a little
breathless. More than that, Jordan discovers he simply
cannot put two traumatized kids out on the street.
So what's he to do? He still wants success and he's not keen
on being a landlord. But he also likes the feeling he gets
when he's with Nell and the kids. In the end, maybe there
isn't a choice after all.
