Before Love Had a Name: Book 1

A romantic entanglement is the last thing Nina wants after she's acquitted of murdering her abusive husband. Anxious to heal her broken spirit, she flees south where she meets and falls in love with Lee and his daughter, Robbie. Tasked with raising his daughter alone after her mother takes off, Lee also struggles to keep the small beach cottages he inherited solvent. Nina suggests improvements, and the two work together to make it happen. Soon she becomes a treasured helpmate to him and a surrogate mother to Robbie—at least until the little girl's wayward mom shows up. Disclaimer: Before Love Had a Name is presented in serial format with the story in each book continuing into the next one. Series is complete at four books.
