The Gazebo
by Kimberly Cates

Shelter of Secrets, Shelter of Dreams The small white gazebo didn't look like anything special. But former "wild child" Deirdre McDaniel knew that appearances could be deceiving. All her life she had felt like an outsider in her own family. Now, as her own idealistic daughter Emma comes of age, it's time to delve into a Pandora's box of heartache . . . Hard-nosed P.I. Jake Stone just wanted a happily-ever- after with the passionate, fragile Deirdre. But the two of them didn't have a chance unless he could help her face the past and lay her demons to rest once and for all. That means trusting him, a loner whose abrasive attitude belies the honorable man beneath. As they sift through the sorrows of the past, these two guarded souls learn that true family resides in the shelter of the heart.
