About the book

A little girl in need of a mom... Carlyle Brackman is Briony's boss--and what an ogre she finds him! Until she sees him in another light, as a tender father devoted to his daughter. This transformation in Carlyle almost melts Briony's heart--almost makes her agree to his request. Will she marry him and be a mother to Emma? Now that Emma needs so much love? Perhaps Briony can accept that she will be married to Carlyle in name only. But can she ever forget the memories of her little sister? For Emma's sake?
