Second-Time Lucky

A CASE STUDY–IN LOVE?

For as long as foster dad Jeff Aquilon could remember, he' d viewed state social workers as one thing: the enemy. But that was before he' d met Caileen Hall, a woman who truly seemed to have his family' s best interests at heart. Jeff had to admit that something about the pretty, passionate Caileen stirred his interest, too.

Though single mom Caileen desperately wanted to help the Aquilons succeed, much to her daughter' s chagrin, Caileen' s strictly professional concern for Jeff soon mingled with feelings she hadn' t encountered in years. But to make peace with her own family, would Caileen have to give up the love of her lifetime?
