Beloved Stranger
UNCUT DIAMOND .. .

When Belinda Stubaker arrived in Tupelo, she was bound and determined to start a new life, to become a new woman. She was tired of not putting down roots--tired of watching people come and go. So when she met handsome, reserved widower Reeve Lawrence and his two charming children, she realized that fate was finally smiling kindly upon her.

But though Belinda was ready to forge ahead, Reeve was vainly clinging to the past. The man was convinced he'd never love again... .

Belinda quickly saw that her job was cut out for her, and she'd never been one to shirk a challenge. It was time to take the tiger by the tail. She'd fight for her new life and for the beloved stranger she'd chosen to share it!
