A Mom For Christmas

Tess Collier has only two wishes: to be David Bannister's wife and the mother of his darling daughter, Francesca. But she knows those secret desires can never come true. How could they? She, Tess, can never measure up to David's late wife, Leah, who was sexy, beautiful, and confident -- a bright and shining star -- everything quiet, gentle, shy piano teacher Tess is not and never will be. But as David watches his lonely little girl thrive and begin to speak again under Tess's guidance and friendship, will he also recognize how lovely she really is? Can he ever really and truly love her? Or is a marriage of convenience all he'll ever offer? Once again, Patricia Kay explores the depth of the human heart and the complicated relationships and emotions of those we love. Originally published under the title SAY YOU LOVE ME in 1994, A MOM FOR CHRISTMAS is a timeless story that readers have loved for years.
