The new baby - Brenda Mott

What they've both lost

Amanda Kelly has come to Boone's Crossing, Tennessee, to recover from the loss of her baby. She finds a kindred spirit in Ian Bonner, a man who, in his teens, gave up a son for adoption. Ian is so wonderful, so kind, so handsome, but Amanda won't let herself get emotionally involved. Because the one thing he wants she can never give him-a baby.

What they find-together

With a little luck and some hard work, Ian and Amanda find Ian's son. Years of heartache disappear and Ian forges a new relationship with the boy. Their connection-their new family-warms Amanda to the core. Almost enough to crumble the protective barrier around her heart.
