But on the same day she puts up the "For Sale" sign, she discovers three children hiding in the caretaker's cottage, thrusting her into the unexpected role of temporary guardian.Fighting for their future means healing from the past...Struggling to mentor a young man with scars nearly as piercing as his own, Lucas offers to help Jenessa restore the Belville grounds. Though drawn together by a trio of kids who tug on their hearts and the sparks they can't deny, past secrets and current sorrows threaten to pull them apart. Only the brightest love and hardest sacrifice can turn the house Jenessa never wanted into the home she and Lucas have always longed for.Other Books by Melissa TaggWalker Family SeriesThree Little Words (prequel novella)From the StartLike Never BeforeKeep Holding OnAll This TimeMaple Valley Series Now and Then and AlwaysSome Bright Someday Enchanted Christmas CollectionOne Enchanted ChristmasOne Enchanted EveOne Enchanted NoelWhere Love Begins SeriesMade to LastHere to StayNovellasA Place to Belong (A Maple Valley Romance)One Royal Christmas
