A Place Called Home
Пра гэту электронную кнігу
It was a gesture of love that neither thought would become a reality. However, when the unthinkable happens, Mitch Baker and Thea Wyndham are called to fulfill their promise as godparents to their mutual friends' three young children in the wake of a tragic accident.
Mere acquaintances, Mitch steps up, ready to honor the promise, but Thea has vanished.
When she finally returns, Thea offers no explanation—only a quiet refusal to share custody. Engaged to a man with no interest in raising another family, she insists she's not the right person to raise the children. Instead, she offers support without commitment—and Mitch is furious.
Thea's silence is its own kind of heartbreak, but Mitch can't shake the feeling that she's hiding something deeper. As tensions rise, attraction stirs between them, making it impossible to keep things purely about the children—or their responsibilities.
They now face the hope that two broken hearts could create something for the children, or the threat that fear, secrets, and unspoken desires might tear them apart for good.

Звесткі пра аўтара
Jo Goodman is a licensed certified social worker working with adolescents in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle. Always a fan of the happily ever after, Jo turned to writing romances early in her career as a child care worker when she realized the only life script she could control was the one she wrote herself. She is inspired by the resiliency and courage of the children she meets and feels privileged to be trusted with their stories, the ones that they alone have the right to tell. Once upon a time, Jo believed she was going to be a marine biologist. She knows she is lucky that seasickness made her change course. She lives with her family in Colliers, West Virginia.
