Twice Shy

Five years after his wife died in his arms, Aaron Hammond doesn't think he'll ever be ready to love another woman, but Skye Hathaway's arrival in Northstar will test that theory. Skye is still reeling from walking in on her philandering husband and his mistress, and with the ink not yet dry on her divorce, the last thing she needs is to get tangled up with a handsome widower and his charming daughter. With those sad eyes and a patient attentiveness, Aaron could be exactly the soothing balm her bruised heart needs, but she has every intention of steering well clear of him… until his adorable little girl decides to take matters into her own hands. Wounded and wary after her failed marriage, Skye immediately captures Aaron's attention. As he coaxes her out of her painful memories, he finds himself facing an intriguing possibility—that life may yet have a lasting love in store for him. But can he let go of his wife and open his heart fully to Skye? Because Skye won't compete with a ghost for his heart. She has been competing with other women for her husband for too long, and she deserves better.
