The Widow's Mite — Emma Goldrick

There goes the neighborhood!

Lucy Borden has problems enough -- namely a house that's falling down around her. She doesn't need the aggravation of her rude, impatient neighbor, despite the fact she likes his precocious little daughter, Maude. Bullies, Lucy knows, must be challenged head-on. But all she gets for her bravado is a long, hard kiss.

And suddenly, Jim Proctor isn't so bad after all. In fact, he's rather gorgeous, if a little headstrong. He's shopping for a wife and a mother for Maude...but in Lucy's opinion, his first choice is nothing but a money-grabbing schemer. And being a good neighbor, Lucy just has to do something....

Hero: Jim Proctor
Heroine: Lucy Borden
