Summer Dreams — Patricia Bird

Tarin Shelby, a gifted young teacher, used all her skill to help motherless little Sean Morgan overcome his painful shyness. Then Michael Morgan, Sean's handsome, difficult father, hired Tarin to be the boy's companion during a summer stay in Southern California. There, Tarin continued to help spunky little Sean become more outgoing and happy, while his father grew increasingly interested in her. Tarin couldn't help loving Michael. But what kind of future could she have with a man who had badly neglected his son, who was unable to trust women, whose unreasoning jealousy was bound to destroy any relationship?
