Man Without A Past

the long version

Meredith Lawton was all woman--with a woman's hopes and dreams. She wanted marriage, children ... and Sutter Kinnard. It was time to show Sutter that his business associate's young daughter was all grown-up. But how? The man had locked the door to love and thrown away the key... . Sutter had watched Meredith blossom into womanhood, until his passion for her ran like fire through his veins. He longed to match her heated glances, but his desire to protect her was even stronger. Meredith was too innocent to understand how the scars of his life made him loath to believe in happy ever after... . Meredith had faith enough for two, and soon fate sent some help her way. Could she convince Sutter that, together, they could make their love enough to win a happy ending?
