After taking guardianship of his late friend’s siblings and baby daughter, minister Levi Wallin hopes to atone for his troubled past on the gold fields. But it won’t be easy to convince the children’s wary elder sister to trust him. The more he learns about her, though, the more he believes Callie Murphy’s prickly manner masks a vulnerable heart…one he’s starting to wish he was worthy of.
Every man in Callie’s life chose chasing gold over responsibilities. Levi—and the large, loving Wallin family—might just be different. But she can tell he’s hiding something from her, and she refuses to risk her heart with secrets between them. Even as they grow closer, will their pasts keep them from claiming this unexpected new beginning?

Excerpt:
Callie Murphy was either the most suspicious woman
he’d ever met, or the wisest. She was also plenty brave, ready to lay into him
with that stick. Having been raised in the gold camps and now living so far
out, she probably had to take precautions. He hadn’t intended to look
dangerous, but then, he’d used his boyish charm too many times in the past to
think that danger couldn’t look pleasing.
“Then maybe I can help you until your brothers get
back.” Levi bent to reach for the clothes, and she stepped in front of him.
“You want to help?” she challenged. “The pump’s
been stuck for weeks. We have to lug all the water through the woods from the
creek. Fix the pump, and we’ll talk.”
Levi straightened. “Fair enough.” He located the
pump near the back of the cabin and went over to it. Easy enough to spot the
problem. The device was orange with rust. He glanced up to ask her whether she
had any oil, and words left him with his breath.
She’d picked up the baby and stood there, swaying
from side to side, singing softly. The buckskin coat and trousers, so common on
the gold fields, still hinted of a figure. The sunlight shafting through the
forest sparked around her, sending gold skipping along her hair.
Levi turned his back on her. Oh, no. You have no business
admiring Adam Murphy’s little
sister. You have a lot of work to do before you’re fit to be a
husband to any woman.
Other Books in the Series
Regina Scott started writing novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, she didn't actually sell her first novel until she had learned a bit more about writing such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot. After numerous short stories and articles in magazines and trade journals, she got serious about her novel writing. The Unflappable Miss Fairchild was her first novel to be published (March 1998).
Besides her novels, Regina Scott has had published three Regency novellas ("The June Bride Conspiracy" in His Blushing Bride, "Sweeter Than Candy" in A Match for Mother, and "A Place by the Fire" in Mistletoe Kittens). Two of her novels, A Dangerous Dalliance and The Twelve Days of Christmas, have been translated into German. A Dangerous Dalliance and The Incomparable Miss Compton have been translated into Italian. Starstruck and Perfection have been translated into Dutch.
Regina Scott and her husband are the parents of two sons. They reside in the Tri-Cities of southeast Washington State and are members of the Church of the Nazarene. Born in 1959 and raised in the Seattle area, Regina Scott is a graduate of the University of Washington. She comes by her writing talent naturally--both her parents are excellent writers in their vocations as teacher and electrical technician. Her mother envisioned the plot for "Sweeter Than Candy," the novella which was written as a tribute to her.
Regina Scott is a devout Christian and a decent fencer; owns a historical, fantasy, and science fiction costume collection that currently takes up over a third of her large closet; and has been known to impersonate an independent consultant specializing in risk communication.

Inheriting a family never does come easy. Then again, one of my co-workers married a woman with kids and highly recommended it. He drove me to scout apartments when our company relocated; one had a swimming pool, and he pointed to a woman with kids in the pool and said, "Instant family, Richard! Just add water!"
