Kaylee Carter may have just found her birth mother--and the sense of belonging that's been missing all her life. But Sofia Donatelli's stepson, Tony, is suspicious. He thinks Kaylee's just another parasite who's come to sponge off his stepmother since she struck it rich in the state lottery.
Still, whether or not Sofia is related by blood, Kaylee and her son form a bond with her that is stronger than biology. Now, if only Kaylee could convince Tony she's not after money but love--a love that has grown to include him.

I read this yesterday, and it's already starting to fade a bit from my memory, so I'm not sure what to say about it. I certainly liked it - the characters were fine and attractive, and their motivations were consistently reasonable (for the most part) and easy to relate to, and the writing was fine. It made for a nice afternoon's read, and I enjoyed my brief visit with this family. It's not particularly memorable, but it does its job, and is a good, easy read for fans of HQ SuperRomance.
