Чтение книги онлайн.

      “Do you remember when we used to—”

      “—sled down this hill?” The memory sparked a laugh in Holly. “We were crazy.”

      Leaving the trees behind, Holly stepped into the hayfield at the top of the ridge. Mac followed close behind as she walked to the summit and studied the view before them.

      Mac came up beside her. The touch of his shoulder against hers sent an electric shock through her body.

      “Holly.”

      Holly focused on the mountains in the distance, covered in haze, and ignored the burn where his arm touched hers. “Hot today,” she said. “I can’t imagine sledding in weather like this, can you? I wonder if the kids—”

      “Holly.” The gruffness in Mac’s voice brought her up short, but she refused to meet his eyes.

      “Mac, I can’t—”

      Mac reached out and pulled her closer. “The girl I knew didn’t have can’t in her vocabulary.”

Dear Reader,

      First of all, thank you for picking up this book. The journey to publication has been long and I have learned so much in the past few years. All of which goes to prove you’re never too old to learn. Thanks to all who have offered advice and encouragement along the way. Special thanks to the crew at Mills & Boon who worked to bring Wanted: The Perfect Mom to print. This book is my first with Mills & Boon. I am honored to be included in the diverse and talented group of Mills & Boon Heartwarming authors.

      This story is about family—the one we’re born into and the one we create. Both have tremendous impact on our lives. Family dynamics are a living, growing thing. Sometimes, as in Holly’s case, there comes a time when our place in the original has morphed into something unrecognizable. Creating a new family seems an impossible dream. Holly must find her way in the unfamiliar territory between the two.

      She figures it out. We all do. Eventually.

      Enjoy the read.

      T.R.
