Cosseted all her life, Lani Moore inherits a
fortune, but yearns for a loving family. The chance to grab that arrives when
two youngsters talk her into taking a flat in their house. Their father, Ryan,
is enchanted by the air of intriguing melancholy about his new tenant. Will
Lani’s lonely heart find the love she wants above all else?
This book was previously published as A Lonely Heart
How Lani wished she was worldlier. Had she
mistaken the look in his eyes? He’d seemed to be studying her with interest.
But perhaps he treated all his female clients with the same amount of
attention. Not for the first time she wished she could carry on a casual
flirtation. What fun it must be to indulge in carefree banter with a man like
this.
The look he gave her as he said, “Ah, a horse,”
was purely disdainful. The curt sentence was as effective as having a bucket of
cold water thrown over her. What a fool? Of course he hadn’t been vaguely
interested in her as a woman—merely as a prospective client. And he now thought
her odd.
Her back straightened, and her chin jutted.
“Yes, a horse. What’s so strange about that?” His ready smile had been replaced
by a frown. Now it was her turn to think him strange. “Do you have any local
properties on your list? I live alone so don’t need a large house, and I have a
shop here in the complex.” With a small jerk of the head she indicated the mall
outside his office. “I’m after something within easy driving distance. I
haven’t the time or inclination to drive for hours each day.”
The small nod of his head didn’t reveal much as
he said, “I’m sure I can find something to suit.”
Was that hostility in his eyes now? Lani
resolved to ignore his strange mood swing. Perhaps he was taciturn like this
all the time and the grin only kept for greeting when you entered his office.
But that was extremely odd. Surely an estate agent should be friendlier towards
a potential buyer. But when had she ever been a good reader of character? “Give
me a day or two. Your needs should be easy to fulfil.”
“That’ll be fine. I’m in a hurry, but not so
that I want to take anything just for the sake of it.” Disappointment made her
sound curt.
“Right.” He nodded and picked up a pen. “If
you’ll give me a rough idea of the price range you have in mind, I’ll get
working on it. Which shop is yours? As soon as I find a property that looks as
if it might suit I’ll let you know.”
He took her details, looking slightly taken
aback when she mentioned the figure she was prepared to go to. Lani stood and
extended her hand. This time his handshake was brief. “Thanks, Mr. Bachus.”
“My pleasure.”
That was a matter for dispute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“A poor little rich
girl, Lani Moore, has more money than she knows what to do with, but no lasting
relationships. Raised by elderly relatives who gave position and
possessions but not the kind of love Lani craved, she is captivated by the real
family she meets and longs to be part of it. Ryan, the hero, is the
father of the family she so admires and someone to whom she is instantly
attracted. Along with the romance, Ms. McGill skillfully weaves a
delightful daughter, a rebellious son and a fascinating grandfather into the
story. The conflict between the proud father and the poor little rich
girl will have you turning the pages until the satisfying conclusion.” Allison Knight
