One of the Family — Susan Floyd

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LOVE CAN'T LEAD TO MARRIAGE?

The last thing Phoebe Douglas ever expected when she came to the isolated dairy farm was that she'd learn to like it. Farms were dirty, and she wasn't the kind of woman who was interested in dirty. But before long, Mitch Hawkins, the strong, handsome dairy owner with a troubled past -- and his family -- taught her that some things were worth getting dirty for...

Mitch always figured love and marriage went hand in hand. But that was before he met Phoebe. Sure, she wasn't the stuck-up city slicker he'd once thought she was. In fact, she was more than willing stay and take on his problems -- and his family's. But he knew he couldn't let her. Because he was the kind of man who'd do anything to protect the woman he loved, even if that meant not marrying her.
