All Things Considered — Debbie Macomber

Judd Matthiessen was no good. His father had always said so, and his desertion of Lanni and their daughter seemed to prove it. So why did it feel so right to Lanni when Judd walked back into her life? And why did she agree to accompany him to the Matthiessen ranch--chastely--when his mere presence made her weak with desire?
