For the Love of Mike Diana Tobin

Michaela Sparks left her hometown years ago to prove herself. When a good friend, Nancy, is killed in a terrible car accident that leaves Nancy's two daughters motherless, Michaela marries their father. Now, circumstances have brought her full-circle, back to the small town of Webster with her two adopted daughters-and the hope for a brand new start for all of them. Ethan Reigh is the new coach of the Webster Wolves junior hockey team. New in town, he rents a room from Michaela's mother, Nettie Baxter. Though an injury ended his pro career in the NHL, he never shares the extent of what's happened-the partial loss of his leg. When he meets Michaela, known as "Mike" to her friends, he's torn between hope for a wonderful new relationship-and fear of losing her if she knows the truth. But Mike has had enough of deception to last a lifetime, and she knows there can be no love without truth. Will she measure up and be able to claim the man she so desperately wants a future with? Ethan is prepared to show her how much he cares-he'll do whatever it takes FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE.
