"Forgiveness and family"

Nora McCall was once an abused orphaned child, but she and her sisters were rescued from that life by their aunt Abigail. Abigail is gone now but Nora still has a family in the form of her sisters and her young daughter Abby. Then one day, trouble from the past in the form of Connor Devlin walks into her sisters' little pottery shop. She was in love with Connor once upon a time, but he left her when she needed him most and she doubts she can ever trust him again.

Connor was forced to leave Nora all those years ago in order to protect her from his mother, the church Pastor. But now he is back and he wants to find out if there can be anything between them again. He has no idea that he has a surprise in store for him that will make him regret the years he was gone even more.

I found Nora to be an admirable woman who went from very rocky beginnings and made something of herself. Connor left her without a word or a reason, I agreed with her reasons for not trying to contact him. She didn't want to trust him with her heart again, but she loved her daughter enough to want to see her daughter have a good relationship with her father. Unfortunately, I really thought that Nora and Connor were too busy jumping to conclusions and making accusations to even be able to recognize and take advantage of their happily ever after.

And now he was back.

For twelve years, Connor had longed for Nora McCall--and cursed the sacrifice he'd made to save her family. Now he had returned to fight for Nora's love. But Connor hadn't expected to face the shock of his life--a lovely young girl who called him Dad!
