Loving
by Penny Jordan
He offered her marriage--but only in name
Inheriting a small cottage near London had allowed Claire Richards to
achieve independence for herself and her young daughter, Lucy. So when
Jay Fraser accused her of encouraging Lucy's friendship with his own
motherless daughter just to trap him into marriage, she was outraged.
But then her cottage was damaged during a storm and Claire had to accept
Jay's offer of shelter. She was surprised to find him a considerate,
perceptive man, gentle and affectionate with the children. And when he
proposed a loveless marriage of convenience, she agreed for her
daughter's sake.
Too late Claire discovered that she wanted' Jay to be more than just a father for Lucy....
