House That Love Built - Jean Brashear - Bog

Once they had it all: a home with a man who adored her, three children they cherished, a life filled with passion and promise.

Until one troubled child cost them everything.

After a childhood of constant upheaval, all Cleo Formby wanted was to put down roots, to fill a house with family and love. When Malcolm Channing swept into her life, she gained it all: the home, the children, the love of a good man who adored her-

Until their firstborn daughter tore their family apart, and even the love between Cleo and Malcolm wasn't strong enough to survive the devastation.

Five years later, that daughter returns, destitute-with a child in tow. Cleo and Malcolm are thrown together again…and realize that their love has never died.

But both have ties to others now, and their daughter is no less troubled than before. Being in constant proximity yet unable to be together is a constant heartache, but the welfare of this little grandson has to take first place.

When Malcolm's new life is shattered by treachery, can he and Cleo overcome the wounds of the past and find their way back to the magic that once filled the house that love built?
