About this ebook
"Margot Early's stories pack a powerful punch. She writes with warmth, wit and emotional depth. A sheer pleasure." Debbie Macomber
Kal Johnson is a still–grieving widower with a young child. He can't imagine marrying again not for love, anyway. But it's becoming increasingly clear that his daughter needs someone besides him. A mother. Kal's solution is to place an ad in a local magazine.
Wanted: Woman to enter celibate marriage and be stepmother to four–year–old girl. Send child–rearing philosophies to Mr. Family .
Erika Blade is a woman who's afraid of love. And sex. She answers the ad, figuring she's probably the only person in the whole world to whom a "celibate marriage" would appeal. After all, she does want children but she doesn't want to acquire them in the usual way. As it turns out, Kal likes her letter and soon discovers that he likes her. More than likes. He's attracted to her. The one thing that wasn't supposed to happen.
"Compelling from the first paragraph, Mr. Family steals the reader's breath with its rare honesty and sensitivity."
Jean R. Ewing, award–winning author of Scandal's Reward
"Mr. Family proves again that there is no voice quite like Margot Early's when it comes to the language of the heart."
Laura DeVries (a.k.a. Laura Gordon), author of contemporary and historical romance
About the author
Margot Early spent her first years in a dark three-story Tudor mansion, where, gazing out an upper window, she once saw a man fall from the roof. Born late to a large family, she soon became acquainted with the fine shadings of human nature; at the age of 11, she began expressing her findings in the medium of fiction. Early develops the same theme in every book: that darkness and light dwell together, and that truth renders even the ugly and imperfect as beautiful and perfect.She has studied martial arts and herbalism and enjoys walking in the forest, especially in the shadows, where she is quick to crouch and examine any animal sign. This award-winning bestselling author has written 10 Harlequin Superromances and one novella; her storytelling is to romance fiction what Siouxie and the Banshees are to pop music. There are three million of her books in print in seven languages and 15 countries. Margot Early dwells in the shifting landscape of Colorado's San Juan Mountains with her loved ones.
