Paper Moon — Linda Windsor

In Paper Moon, the first book of The Moonstruck Series, two single parents agree to chaperone their teenage daughters' trip to Mexico. The owner and director of her own day care facility, Caroline Spencer approaches life with humor and child-like faith, but Blaine Madison, a hardened workaholic, seeks success and results. Yet in spite of herself, Caroline finds him irresistible. Caroline and Blaine quickly discover Mexico's romantic and surreal qualities, which, to Caroline, makes the full moon above seem like a perfect paper cutout. Romance quickly turns to danger, however, as their daughters are caught in a smuggling ring and kidnapped.
