Lo Bonham's world turned upside down the day his sister left her young daughter. Bringing up his niece isn't a challenge until she turns into a rebellious teenager. His house is in discord and if he doesn't find a solution, he may lose his mind. When he meets Della, the problem seems likely to resolve in a matter of weeks as his niece takes to her private, mousy companion. Lo can't help being drawn to Della either, even if she is hiding a deep secret.
Della shouldn't let Lo and his niece make her feel so at home, but she's fast falling for the man known as the local Lothario. When Della's past is exposed, the two men trying to track her down arrive in town. One wants to kill her, one wants her for personal gain. Even with Lo backing her, will Della ever be safe again?

Vicki Nelson has never been as popular as her cousin Vivian.

It's a big step, but she knows Vivian will be there with her all along the way. Then she meets Tony Gibbs, a young man finding his own path in the world just as she is. Sometimes it takes traveling miles away from the familiar to find the place we can call home.
