A Promise to Protect — Abigail Gordon

As a child, Chloe Cavendish had adored being around the busy but beautiful Manchester Ship Canal, so to be accepted as a port health officer was very special. She hadn't counted on such a formidable boss! Thomas Saracen was also new and intent on making his mark. Chloe bristled a little, until she discovered more of his past, and became friends with his young daughter - something Thomas himself seemed to find hard. Chloe knew she could be good for this self-sufficient man, if only he would let her.
