Fools Rush In

by Gwynne Forster

After a devastating tragedy sent her into a severe depression, Justine Montgomery gave up her newborn daughter for adoption. Realizing her mistake too late, she discovered her daughter had been adopted by divorced journalist Duncan Banks—and that he was looking for a nanny. Without revealing her identity, Justine took the job and was determined that securing her child's future would be the only passion in her life. But she never anticipated Duncan's growing suspicions about her—or the powerful attraction between them.

A poverty-ridden childhood and a failed marriage left Duncan Banks unwilling to trust in anyone but himself. It didn't take him long to realize that there was something not quite right about his daughter's otherwise perfect nanny. But in trying to uncover Justine's secrets, Duncan soon found his own vulnerabilities were at stake. With divided loyalties and an unexpected passion threatening their fragile relationship, Justine and Duncan must risk revealing more than they ever imagined to achieve what they never dreamed possible….

This is the 2nd book that I have read from this author. The first was Love Me Tonight which I only gave 2 stars, and was really not that happy with. This book I throughly enjoyed. The story was just soo good, and I am just dying to know what happens next with this family. Kudos Gwynne Forster.

After suffering from what seems like post partum depression and giving up her child for adoption, Justine Montgomery poses as a nanny to the baby's divorced father, Journalist Duncan Banks. One of the reasons I like this author's style if the flow of the story, since the characters seem to take their time before coming intimate.

So much turmoil

This is one for the record books. The heart strings are definitely pulled. How does one overcome betrayal. You have infidelity. Secrets. Lies. And a child.
