For Now, For Always — Marianne K. Martin

Renee Parker knows what love is and what love does. She was only seventeen when she fought social services for the right to raise her four younger siblings. Fought and won. Now the challenge is to parent kids scarred by a step-dad's suicide and a mother's imprisonment. But Renee doesn't think twice about sacrificing her own future to give her brothers and sisters their best shot at life. Renee knows what love is and what love does. But then a different kind of love threatens everything Renee has built. Meeting pediatric nurse Olivia Dumont convinces Renee there is room in her heart for someone outside the family. But not everyone approves of the choices of her heart. The watchful eye of social worker Millie Gordon is always on the Parker family. And Millie knows what's right and what's wrong. Driven to desperation, Renee faces the most agonizing decision of her life.
