SYNOPSIS:
Though she's a romance author, Krysia Barciniak has no illusions about love and romance and a happily-ever-after for herself. Or about seeing her child again. One taste of love six years earlier is more than enough for her. She already has a scarred heart. Thank you very much! Then melancholic Connor Tiernay, the new museum curator, arrives in Harmony Village, with his five-year-old daughter in hand and a proposal of marriage on his lips. And Cupid Cat, with his indomitable reputation in the matchmaking projects, rubs his paws together. Will Cat's predictable success and their inevitable surrender be validated?

SNEAK PEEK:
A mirror reproduced a personās face.
But if one wanted to know, really know a person, really know what she was like, really know what her character, her integrity, her honor were like, all one had to do was scrutinize her family, study the friends sheād chosen, and one would have a pretty accurate sketch of the person in question.
That was Connorās motivating factor for coming to Harmony Village.
To scrutinize Krysia Barciniakās family. To study Krysia Barciniakās friends.
His theory contained one flaw.
Krysia Barciniak herself, he admitted with some reluctance.
When his gaze had first connected with hers, something indefinable had passed between them. The power of that instant in time had left him breathless. Speechless. Unnerved.
Although her parents and friends all appeared small-town friendly, possessing small-town friendly countenances and small-town friendly manners, it was the woman herself, standing before him with her motherās arm draped over her shoulders and encircled by her friends and neighbors, that bore the most accurate sketch of Krysia Barciniak.
Her cheekbones were high, her jaw strong, but her eyesā¦ Her eyes, blue like sapphires, blue like his daughterās, told the story her lips never would. Her eyes, so dark, so full of thoughts and secrets and pain, especially when she glanced down at Brenna, revealed her vulnerability.
With the promptness of the panicked, Connor eased his features into an impassive expression when he saw her raise those eyes to him. And once again, felt shivers of awareness ripple down his arms.
Donāt go making a forest out of a twig, he admonished himself, stomping down on the intrusive yet inexplicable sensations swirling through him.
Donāt go jumping to any conclusions here. He pushed his free hand into his pants pocket and balled it into a fist.
Youāre here to observe her, to determine, with no margin for error, if she is trustworthy to let into Brennaās life. There can be no margin for error, he reminded himself, planting his linen-clad legs wide and locking his spine.
He would protect Brenna at all costs. She was his daughter and he would protect her and no amount of vulnerability and pain scratched into the blue eyes staring at him now would soften his resolve. Would not soften him at all if he detected the merest possibility of a corrupt character.
Time would tell.
And he had plenty of it.
āIām sure you and your daughter will settle down nicely here. Harmony Village prides itself on being a great place to raise children. Itās safe enough to walk alone at night and leave your doors unlocked,ā Krysia said, her voice precise and professional and pried into his thoughts. āIt is a Harmony Village tradition to always make newcomers and visitors feel like family. If I can be of any assistanceāā
Family. The word reminded him of his dead wife. The word made his chest feel tight. The word made his voice sound curt. āIām certain weāll be just fine.ā He shrugged with the words. Seeing the puzzled hurt on her face, he cursed himself and felt obliged to add a belated, āThank you.ā
She gave him a bright smile, but it was strained around the edges, and he felt his heart give a quick, catchy sigh. He would do well to remember he was a man on a mission. And that mission did not include antagonizing the one person, the one woman, the oneā¦motherā¦Brenna had left in this world.
Mother.
Connor closed his eyes. A year after Missyās death, he still grieved as though it had happened only yesterday. Brenna still grieved as though it had happened only yesterday. His eyes lifted to Krysiaās and he made a sound somewhere between throat clearing and sighing.
āBrenna and I are pleased to be here, arenāt we honey?ā His fingers tightening in encouragement, he winked at his daughter. āAnd weāre looking forward to making newā¦friends.ā
Once again, his eyes lifted to Krysiaās. When their gazes met and melded, she gave him a careful smile. His skin prickled with awareness and he found himself catching his breath.
Though she wasnāt as pretty as Missy, she wasnātā¦unattractive.
The thought struck him hard and fast. The pain it produced shocked him.
How could heāhis gut twistedāsee another woman, any woman, but especially this woman, even for a few seconds, and notice her looks, be drawn to herā¦looks? Itād only been a year since Missy died. Dropping his gaze, he frowned at the toe of his shoe.
The guilt kicked in.
