A Daughter's Place — C.J. Carmichael

Home is where the farm is

Libby Bateson was seventeen and pregnant when her father kicker her off the farm. She never intended to go back. But now she and her daughter need a place to stay.

So for the few months it'll take to get her life together, she'll ignore her father's unremitting antagonism. Ignore the small-town gossips counting back on their fingers, trying to figure out her daughter's age. Whatever she has to do, Libby is determined that none of them will know the truth behind her little girl's conception.

Especially not Bigson Browning. He lives next door and wants to be her friend, yet they both sense the feelings between them go way too deep for that. Gibson's love of the land ties him to the farming community of Chatsworth, the one place Libby can never stay.

Not when the man she fears most still lives there...
