An Unlikely Family — Cynthia Thomason

Beware the "terror" of Heron Point Elementary!

She's only just arrived at this seaside tourist town as the new principal and Evie's already heard about the area's biggest troublemaker--nine-year-old Gemma Muldoone. If having a cop for a father hasn't turned this kid around, it's going to take all of Evie's educational training...and big-city wits.

Billy Muldoone's a dad who knows he's in over his head--and has been ever since his daughter was dropped on his doorstep. Despite his attraction to newcomer Evie, he resents her interference...until Gemma faces a real threat, and Evie is the only one who can help.
