Family in Training?
After rescuing six children abandoned in a boat, Captain Drake Nesbitt is determined to ensure their safety and locate their unknown parents. But first, he needs someone to nurture the babies. He’s grateful for the support of kindhearted Lady Susanna Trelawney.
Although Susanna has given up all hope of marriage and happiness after her fiancé’s betrayal, the adorable children evoke all her maternal instincts. Soon she’s falling for her tiny charges—and their handsome rescuer. Can Susanna convince committed bachelor Drake that he’s more than just a onetime hero, but a man who has room in his heart for a family after all?
Matchmaking Babies: Seeking forever families and speeding up the course of true love.
“One day the children will appreciate that your family has provided for them. Not every abandoned child is so blessed.”
“What happened to you, Drake?”
“The neighbors took me in with their brood, which was large enough that they never seemed to notice one more.”
“So they became your family?”
“No. They were never cruel to me, but I was always an outsider. I was never allowed to call them mother and father.”
“Oh, how horrible! You must have been so alone and so lonely, even in such a crowded house.”
“No one else has ever said that.” He quickly looked away.
“If I have pried too much…”
“No, it feels good to have someone understand.” He shook his head with a grin.
Before she could ask another question, the twins called to her. As he stood, she went to swing the girls out of the sleeping hammocks. He could sense that Susanna was just as anxious to leave the solitude belowdecks. As for himself, he would be glad to return to where they would not be able to talk about the past and what he planned to do in the future.
A future when the rolling waves of the sea would come between him and Susanna.
No, he definitely did not want to think of that. Not until he had to.
