A rich girl becomes poor and ends up working for someone that once worked for her family. The relationship between the two, could have stayed tense. Instead, Ms. Cross works on the growth of both characters. I also loved the little girl. That's not commonplace for me, in books. I look for Caroline Cross' name when buying books.
Caroline Cross does it again

This is the story of Eve Chandler and John MacLaren. Eve was from a rich and prominent family, but is now homeless because her grandfather made some poor business decisions and she had to sell the family ranch to pay off debts. John has recently learned that he has a daughter, but has no experience raising a young girl and eventually decides that he needs a nanny/housekeeper/cook. Eve begins to work for John and she begins to draw Lissy, John's daughter, out of her shell. Eve and John become attracted to each other, but John is convinced that he doesn't know about love and caring for someone since he was raised in an orphanage. Eve's efforts to prove otherwise prove futile. The ending was a bit quick so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but a pleasant book to read. Caroline Cross never disappoints.
