The Brother Quest
by Lori Handeland

If anything ever happens to me, go to 445 Briar Lane, Wind Lake, Minnesota

Colin Luchetti's brother Bobby is missing and the only clue is a cryptic note sending Colin to Wind Lake. What he finds when he gets there is unexpected—a day-care center complete with kids, a runaway guinea pig and Marlie Anderson, the owner.

With all his options gone, Colin decides to wait in Wind Lake for word on Bobby. Even though he itches to get out into the "real" world, the more time he spends with Marlie, the more he admires her. But for his family's sake Colin needs to focus on solving the mystery of his brother's disappearance. Can he do it without falling for the woman his brother loves?
