A Place to Belong — Ann Roth

To an outsider, which Clint strong is, Popp, Oregon seems like any other small town. It has its busybodies, its local scandals…and an unassuming boarding house for stranded guys like him. But Alison O'Hara, the house's owner, is like no woman he's ever met. Suddenly Clint is acting like the man of the house. Doing repairs…and kissing Alison with a passion that scares them both. What man had hurt Alison and abandoned her pint-size daughter, who loves ponies and pizza and pulls on Clint's rusty heartstrings? Can Clint transform from drifter to permanent husband and daddy?
