A Future to Build On
All widower Luke Hunter wants is to raise his three kids—and be left alone. When Delaney Marks arrives in town to oversee the youth group’s house renovation project, Luke decides he must come out of hiding. He’s worried she’s too young to get the job done. He’ll have to keep a close watch on her—and on his heart. Because being with the vibrant girl makes it easy to forget their age difference and to start hoping for a future he doesn’t deserve. As tensions rise over project pressures, Delaney tries to make Luke see that some things are just out of his control—and that he is worthy of happiness…with her.
“She looks like a princess in a book, doesn’t she, Daddy?”
He glanced at Delaney, studying her, almost as if seeing her for the first time.
He abruptly looked away. “Yes, she does, Chloe.”
Luke shifted the child in his arms and she looped her own around his neck to settle in once more. Her eyes were growing heavier by the minute.
“Say good-night to Delaney.”
The girl waved. “Good night, Delaney.”
Luke nodded in Delaney’s direction, as well.
“Why don’t you lock up and I’ll see you to your car?”
“Thanks, but I’ll be fine. It’s not even completely dark yet.”
“It will be shortly. Chloe and I will see you there, then follow you to your place. Make sure you get inside safely.”
From the look in his eyes, there would be no point in debating the issue.
“Okay. Thanks.” She returned to the kitchen to secure the dead bolt at the back door. She suddenly felt like Chloe must feel when cradled in her father’s strong arms. Safe. Protected.
It was nice to know someone cared.
GLYNNA KAYE treasures memories of growing up in small Midwestern towns—and vacations spent with the Texan side of the family. She traces her love of storytelling to the times a houseful of great-aunts and great-uncles gathered with her grandma to share candid, heartwarming, poignant and often humorous tales of their youth and young adulthood. Glynna now lives in Arizona, where she enjoys gardening, photography and the great outdoors.
