When a broken arm forces Dr. Eric Mitchell to hire temporary help, the veterinarian who arrives on his doorstep takes him by surprise.
Physically, Alison Truesdale seems too fragile. Emotionally, her smile never quite reaches her eyes–especially around his son. The boy, Eric soon discovers, reminds her of a past she can' t outrun.
By the time he finds a runaway hiding in his barn, Eric has started to accept the unexpected. Because the teen shows him the way to Alison' s heart, and helps him see that his house full of strangers could make a perfect home.
SINGLE FATHER
Sometimes he gets things right. Sometimes he needs a little help...
It seems to me that I've been writing forever–high school essays which were hung on the classroom wall, short stories which finalled in a national contest, and family memoirs which are my mom's favourite–but none of those sweet successes compared with the thrill of having a novel accepted for publication. Linda's first Superromance, LOVE, MONEY AND AMANDA SHAW, was published in February 2001 while her second, TRUE-BLUE TEXAN, followed five months later. When she's not writing fiction, she teaches GED classes to homeless adults in downtown Houston. Her educational background includes a B.A. in Sociology and an M.S. in Education from Hunter College of the City University of New York. Linda and her husband, Michael, have three grown sons–all gorgeous and single at the moment. "We're looking forward to our oldest son, Andrew's wedding next spring and to welcoming lovely Pauline and four year old Aaron into our family."
