About this series
Single father Owen Haskins is worried about his emotionally troubled 7-year-old son, Ian. The brilliant little boy is placed in Faith Russell's second-grade class after they move to East Shore on Cedar Island. Although Owen is attracted to her, he isn't sure Faith is the right teacher for his son.
Faith's lack of trust in men slowly recedes when, against her better judgment, she begins to date Owen. Over the coming weeks, their relationship deepens, although they agree that it can't become serious.
Too bad Faith's heart refuses to listen. Owen proposes marriage, but instead of telling her he loves her, he explains that he wants Ian to have a mother. Deeply hurt, Faith breaks off their relationship. She regrets that she's allowed herself to fall for both Ian and his handsome father.
Too late, Owen realizes his mistake. But how can he change Faith's mind about him and prove that he's more than a cold-hearted lawyer who doesn't need love?
