A family of her own

the long version

A sweet little girl, all alone in the world, had been entrusted to Jussy Waring's care, and she was determined to shelter her from any more heartache. But Jussy hadn't counted on the big-city stranger who came to small-town South Carolina to take away her home--and stayed to steal her heart. Sam Baker thought this was strictly a business transaction, but it was far more than that to Jussy. Somehow, she had to make him see what losing the rambling old house on Pohicket Creek would mean to her little "family"--and what losing him would mean to her.
