Fair Haven

Description

When singing sensation Leah Dean becomes the target of an obsessed fan, she changes her appearance, assumes a new identity, and temporarily flees her L.A. home—only to find herself stranded in small-town Texas.

When an investigator with the local sheriff’s department offers her a job helping with housework at his ranch home and keeping his ill sister company, she accepts the position . . . reluctantly. Leah worries that she’s woefully unprepared for the work she’s agreed to do. And she’s right.

Joshua Calhoun is doing what any decent man would do—offering aid to a woman who’s obviously terrified. Even though he’s not sure what she’s running from, he plans to protect her and pray for her. What Joshua will not do is get involved. He’s survived the loss of his parents and his best friend, as well as a breakup with a woman who wanted no part of “living in the sticks.” He’s now watching helplessly as his sister battles cancer, and his heart is breaking at another possible loss. So he will help the woman he rescues, but he’s keeping his distance.

Yet Joshua is surprised by how much he enjoys her company. Although she has nothing in the way of job skills, she’s a fast learner. And she makes him laugh—something he’s almost forgotten how to do. As he becomes more attracted to her, Joshua is determined to uncover the secret she’s keeping. He needs to know everything before he shares his true feelings. But with numerous responsibilities and distractions, including a prisoner who escaped from custody and vowed to seek revenge, Joshua is blindsided when he learns the truth. This sweet, down-to-earth woman is not at all who or what she seems. But he’s already fallen for the woman she’s pretending to be.
