About this book

The choice was hers: love or loyalty Single parent Nell Richards had no time for romance. Every moment was taken -- working in her barbershop, raising a growing daughter, leading a Girl Scout troop. Then Barry Jackson arrived at her door. Warm, attentive and attractive, Barry made no secret of his desire to teach Nell just how good loving could be. And she was strongly tempted to yield to him. But until her daughter could accept the man Nell hungered for, the promise of sunshine would be elusive.
