Small-Town Bachelor — Darlene Franklin

VERITY CLARK DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE

The struggling single mom is doing her best to raise her three kids. But when her eldest son is caught skipping school, she needs help. Thankfully, truant officer Garrett Sawtelle is on her side. Soon Verity is turning more and more to the caring educator, who's awakening tender feelings she can't afford to act on.

Garrett wants to make a difference. He knows it's against the rules to get too close to the families he counsels. But the spunky widow and her children are fast becoming part of this bachelor's dreams for the future. Can he convince Verity that, together, they can build something real and lasting?
