      He caught sight of her in the chair with the baby.

      Leaning forward, Garrett peeked over Abby’s shoulder at the sleeping baby.

      “Do you want to hold her?” she asked.

      Garrett’s smile vanished, replaced by a wary look that she instantly knew represented a feeling that Garrett Cole wasn’t very comfortable with.

      “Come on, no turning back now.”

      She switched Charlotte to a cradling position and stood, placing the tiny bundle in Garrett’s arms. His expression gentled as he watched Charlotte sleep, and Abby’s heart gave a painful thump. She stepped back, away from him. “No.”

      “Pardon?” He looked up, his eyes crinkling as his smile returned.

      “Nothing.” She let out a shaky laugh and picked up her bag. “I’ve got to go.”

      These couple of hours with Garrett had been fun. He was smart and compassionate and…nothing.

      She was here to heal. To get a family preservation program off the ground.

      Not to try to date her best friend’s partner—no matter how adorably befuddled he was.

      Dear Reader,

      Some characters are special. I knew from the first time Garrett appeared in a scene with his unruly hair and ready smile that he was one of those. He needed a heroine who could see through his abundant charm to his generous heart.

      Abby’s just that kind of heroine. Despite all she’s been through in her life, she has a quiet joy that spills over to everyone around her and a firm strength that is undeniable.

      Each of them has to let go of their fear (and their white-knuckle grip on control) before they can step together into the future God has waiting for them, but oh, is it worth the risk!

      You’re in my prayers always, my friends, and I love hearing from СКАЧАТЬ
