Publisher Description
Once upon a time, he was just a hopeless cause from the wrong side of Glory, Kansas. And he'll be damned if he'll let anyone drag him back down after finally clawing his way out.
Everyone knows that Gina Townsend is a saint, always taking care of everyone around her. And now she's trying to be a mother to her six-year-old niece, Amanda Jane. But the girl's biological father isn't helping matters. The scruffy, gangly boy Gina remembers has returned to Glory a sexy, successful man, but Reed Hollingsworth is the only thing standing between her and losing Amanda Jane to foster care.
Betrayed that neither Townsend sister bothered to tell him he was a father until he had money, Reed's still not about to shirk his responsibilities. So when he demands Gina move in with him as part of Amanda Jane's custody agreement, he tries not to notice pretty much everything about her—especially the way his solemn-faced daughter laughs when they play together.
Raising a child together, Reed and Gina learn that some dreams come and go, but some are a spark that burns eternal…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The unusual premise of the third Home to Glory contemporary (after Unfaded Glory), set in tiny, insular Glory, Kan., is undermined by a poorly contrived climax and the juvenile behavior of the heroine. After Gina Townsend's sister dies from a drug overdose, Gina swears to give her six-year-old niece, Amanda, a good and happy life, even if it means setting aside her pride and going after Reed Hollingsworth, Amanda's father and Gina's longtime crush, for much-needed child support. Reed had no idea he was a father until the child support lawsuit landed on him; now he will do anything to be part of Amanda's life, even if it means making peace with one of the women he blames for keeping him from her. To Reed and Gina's mutual shock, the judge a friend of Gina's conniving grandmother suggests that they get married to provide a stable home. The two are forced to set aside their differences and face their fears, and soon the modern-day arranged marriage becomes something more intimate. The main characters overindulge in hysterics, and Arden has a too-immediate fix for every problem, but fans of witty romance will appreciate the catchy and humorous dialogue.
