About this book

Jane Winfarthing was helping out with Mary Wroxham's jolly brood of children for the summer when Mary's brother David Carleton arrived on the scene — and made a far from good impression on Jane! 'A blue-stocking', he called her. 'But clever enough to camouflage her brains with frilly nighties, and to know that a light hand with an omelette is worth several degrees in the long run.' He was obviously one of those insufferable men who regarded unmarried women as playthings and married women as unpaid house-keepers. And he was going to join their camping holiday in Switzerland! Well, she for one, Jane decided, was not going to be yet another scalp on his belt. Let him turn his attention to the more obvious kind of girl like—well, like Chloe Brundali. Why should Jane care ? In fact, why did she care ?

As an on-the-run single mother out to protect her little girls, Lisa Connors needed two things: money, and to keep her identity secret. But it was just her luck that the possibility of the former would threaten the latter—for as the caretaker of the hunk-next-door with two broken legs, her ability to keep her distance was already shaky. When she found out said hunk's profession—FBI agent—it was downright demolished....Gage McKinnon had spent most of his life trying to keep away from all things familial, so the last thing he needed was to have two adorable little girls take root next door. But it was their mother who posed his greatest threat. For in Lisa he felt that door in his heart—the one that had been slammed shut twenty-five years ago—start to open, just a crack.
