When a runaway teen surfaced at Molly Creighton's tavern, Daniel Devaney's job as a child advocate forced him to investigate...and to confront his tumultuous past with Molly. Though a tragic loss had shattered their relationship four years ago, Daniel was now ready to accept responsibility for their breakup and make a fresh start. Their overwhelming attraction was undulled by time, but Molly feared risking her heart again. Yet Daniel vowed to banish the shadows from her eyes and prove he was the man she needed him to be. And with his brothers and parents at last reconciled, Daniel's deepest longing--for family--was almost fulfilled.
