Home At Last
$14.99Add to cartLink Whitman, 31, has always been the “wild child” of the Whitman crew. Grant and Audrey thought their son had finally settled down when he graduated college and got a job as a teaching assistant at the university in Cape Girardeau. But when Link brings home his grad student girlfriend and declares they are getting married, it’s all the Whitmans can do to welcome the girl into their home. Refusing to take the proud Whitman name and declaring that any children she and Link have will bear hyphenated names, Marnie couldn’t be more opposite of the girl Grant and Audrey have always dreamed of for their eldest son. That girl, Leah Jordan, just happens to live across the lane–and still has feelings for Link. Marnie Hazelton, 25, has fought hard to overcome a difficult childhood. But she’s strong now, and making her way in the world, and nobody is going to drag her down again. Least of all the meddling parents of the man she loves and wants to spend her life with. Leah Jordan, 26, has loved Link Whitman since they were toothless first-graders playing baseball in the empty lot between the two families’ homes. She never intended to “wait” for him, but now that he’s back home–maybe waiting for him is exactly what she’s doing. She never counted on having to fight for him.
