Midas's Bride

Rating:
Summary: Powerful stuff
Review: Pregnant and alone, landscaper Abby Chesney has decided she needs a husband, someone solid, reliable, interested in friendship rather than romance, and willing to be a good father to her baby.
Definitely not someone like divorced business magnate Griffin O'Dell, whose own failures at love have convinced him to shun marriage and concentrate his affection on his four-year-old son Casey, with whom he gets to spend only part of the year.
But when Griffin hires Abby, both find that their hearts want a love their minds have ruled out as impossible. When Griffin's ex-wife threatens his growing relationship with Casey, both Griffin and Abby must confront feelings that are surprisingly powerful.
This is a remarkably good story despite its rather formulaic-sounding plot; it showcases a love that's willing to give whether it gets anything back or not.
