Her Daughter's Father (Cedar Island Tales) (Volume 3) Kate Vale

Gretchen Martindale, a former foster child herself, steps up when Laine, 12, and Nettie, 5, need a home after they run away from their foster home to stop the foster dad from molesting Nettie. Gretchen?s heart becomes entwined with the girls and she decides to adopt them, creating the family she thought she?d never have. But Laine aches to find her birth mother. When school counselor, Craig, offers to pay for a DNA search, no one is more surprised than he with the results. Laine is Craig?s daughter, the result of a long-ago hook-up. Since Gretchen is already falling for the handsome counselor, and he for her, things might work out well. Or maybe not ? Laine says she doesn?t want a dad, just a mom. And Craig? He?s a dedicated commitment-phobe. Does this family stand a chance of getting together?
