Adelaide Langtry has returned to Whispering Pines with three siblings in her care and the backing to open a new orphanage in her grandmother's old home. Sheriff Jack Roper was an orphan and on his own much of his youth and understands what Adelaide's young charges are going through. Sparks fly when Adelaide and the Sheriff spend more time together. Old enemies show up, causing havoc. Then, one orphan is adopted without his siblings and Adelaide's ex-beau shows up to take them all back home with him. He is adamant that Adelaide not interfere. Since her ex is the son of the orphanage’s major donors, he is essentially Adelaide's boss. What will she decide to do when she knows something is not right with the adoption? Jack is determined to help her regardless of the ramification. (ZEBRA, May, 384 pp., $7.99)
