Handle With Care
Jackson, Betty
Could she be jealous of her own teenage daughter, a budding blond beauty who had apparently enchanted a man more than twice her age? Ridiculous!

Katherine Meadows thought she had good reason to mistrust the arrogant new neighbor her two children adored. She wished Matt Clinton had stayed in Paraguay, building roads and bridges, rather than coming to Fort Worth to destroy her peace of mind. She tried to avoid him and the truth. Laurel wasn't the issue--Katherine was. The beautiful young widow could hide behind her children no longer. Matt was determined to possess her, but his terms were unacceptable: an affair and nothing more--until she abandoned shame and caution and vowed to steal his love secretly, sensuously, with every wanton embrace.
