Olivia
Small towns? Everybody up in your business? Not my thing. Give me the mind-your-own-business big city. I'm just in Gardner for a couple days to catch my breath after losing the consulting job I loved, and the man I thought I loved.

Until I catch sight of a breathtakingly beautiful little girl, then her flannel-and-scruff single dad. With my ovaries crying louder than my common sense, I unpack my bags and settle in for a spell.

In small towns like Gardner, some things are absolute. There's no such thing as privacy. There will always be bad blood between certain families. And second chances don't just drop into the local diner for a turkey sandwich. Do they?

Olivia has city and temporary written all over her, and my kneejerk reaction is to keep my sunshine-and-two-million-questions daughter from getting attached. But when I get into a bind, Olivia surprises me in ways I never expected. But when the past starts pushing and shoving, there may not be room in this small town for temporary to become permanent.
