Kisses Worth Waiting for — Lynn Bulock

For Sharon Turner, her big family is plenty of trouble, a lot of fun, and a tremendous comfort, especially when the man of her dreams hardly notices her. Tanner Williams certainly knows she exists--she did work for him for four long years--but now that she's the proprietor of her own small-business support company, to Tanner, she's out of sight, out of mind.

But while Tanner remains distant, his daughter, Sarah Beth, and Sharon are growing closer every day. Sarah Beth revels in the attention she gets from Sharon's lovingly large family, and what child wouldn't enjoy the country hayrides, the apple picking, and occasional horseback adventure, and fun-filled mealtimes? But like so many candles on Sarah Beth's birthday cake, Tanner extinguishes their hopes for kindling any home fires. He may be tempted to fan the embers, but he's being staunchly resistant; As far as he's concerned, the three of them will never be one big happy family!
