Protecting The Sheriff's Daughter

Book excerpt: With all her heart Carly Taggert wants to be a mother, but without a husband there's only one way she knows to make it happen—become a foster parent. She’s signed up, willing, waiting and ready...oh so ready. Liam McKenna is assigned by Carly's sheriff father to keep her out of trouble while the sheriff is away. When he learns of her plan, Liam is sure she's headed for it—lock, stock, and barrel. Foster kids are messed up. Broken. Trouble. He ought to know since he was one. There's no talking sense into Carly, and soon Liam finds himself dragged into the chaos and falling for her despite knowing better. She’s a softie, in for a hard fall because those kids aren't hers to keep. But he’s sticking around, and maybe once she knows how painful it can be to let them go, she'll drop the nonsense of having kids and— keep him instead? **This book has a sweet/clean and wholesome version by Kay Lyons titled HERS TO PROTECT.
