Melanie

Two challenged hearts. One true love?

The death of her mother left ten-year-old Melanie Jones with too many responsibilities. Raising her younger siblings under the weight of her father's unkind words filled her with insecurities.

Abandoned by his wife then widowed, Cole Miller is forced to raise his daughter on his own. Though his sister is supposed to help, she's more liability than asset.
