Paternity Lessons: Family Matters

Tyler Corwin has accepted the responsibility of raising his daughter, 9 year old Lanie, when her mother and step-father were killed in an auto accident.Lanie is mad at the world and her father. Then to top it all off her horse, a Mustang named Magic becomes dangerous through mishandling and abusive treatment.Because the doctors say that Lanie needs Magic to help her readjust, Tyler needs to find someone who will retrain the Mustang until he is safe for Lanie to handle again.He is directed to Shaunna Lightfoot who seems bent on rescuing many abused animals. She does seem to have a way with horses and children.Ah but Ah-lee-sha is the fly in the ointment. She is very correct, socially, very rich and mostly unemotional. A safe woman to go out with and keep your heart intact.Shaunna on the other hand, starts raising Tyler's blood-pressure among other things, making him have some erotic thoughts. This will not do. But after a kiss or two Tyler finds himself in hot water. His emotions take off, leaving his head behind.Lanie causes a lot of good interplay in the story and unknowingly brings Tyler closer to Shaunna. She can't stand Alicia.Ah, what a wonderfully family oriented story with the hinted secret keeping you wondering.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - love that cover guy - he does match the story.
