    About this ebook

    Lisa Russell wasn’t a make lemonade kind of woman when it came to life’s little surprises. Her plans were to re-decorate her empty-nested house and find a man. Having to accept custody of a three-month old granddaughter she didn’t know she had, threw those plans into turmoil...Judge Rhys Baldwin had gone stag since losing his wife eight years ago. A chance meeting with an attractive woman in a department store showed him he was still attracted to women. However, his grown children didn’t accept the changes in their father’s life. It’s up to Lisa and Rhys to find a way to blend their love and their families.
