A Hunger for Love — Jackie Leigh Allen

Loss, Lies, Love.

Loss: Vince Lomelli lost the job he loved and cooks at the family restaurant. His daughter lost her hearing. He lost his wife, perhaps not a great loss since she lied constantly.

Lies: Hope Henderson renews her friendship with Vince Lomelli by teaching his daughter sign language. Just when it looks as if he might see her as more than a friend, he accuses her of lying to him. Love: When Vince's family urges him to go for Hope, he refuses to be pushed. Then Hope has a new suitor and Vince must listen to his heart, confess his love, or lose her.
