Love The Second Time Around

'A little girl in need of a mom... Carlyel Brackman is Briony's boss-and what an ogre she finds him! Until she sees him in another light, as a tender father devoted to his daughter. This transformation in Carlyle almost melts Briony's heart-almost makes her agree to his request. Will she marry him and be a mother to Emma? Now that Emma needs so much love. Perhaps Briony can accept that she will be married to Carlyle in name only. But can she ever forget the memories of her little sister...for Emma's sake?'

A tender love story that pulls at the heart .....

For the Love of Emma by Lucy Gordon Harlequin Romance # 3410 - May 1996 With her parents' death, Briony became her sister Sally's guardian, and for years she took short term jobs so that she could be there for her. Sally got sick and died; she was only eight. So Briony finds herself, at 26, just starting in the business world. Carlyle Brackman is a demanding employer; his shrewd business sense is how he'd gotten to the top by 35. After two months, Carlyle notices Briony and he's impressed with her abilities. Briony's quick rapport with his daughter Emma prompts Carlyle to confide that Emma has a heart condition and may only have months to live. He's determined to make his daughter's remaining time as happy as possible. The one promise he'd been unable to fulfill was to give Emma a mother, something she'd never had from a week of her birth. Briony's shocked when Carlyle proposes marriage for Emma's sake. The child reminds her so much of her sister, and her grief is still too fresh, but she agrees. Pretending to be a happy family for Emma, Briony finds it's not only the child that has taken her heart but her father as well. This is a tender love story that pulls at your heart. Both Briony and Carlyle have to face the pains from their past losses in order to move forward. Emma is the star of this story with her precocious attitude and delightful mischief. So strong is Emma's character that she almost over shines the growing romance between Briony and Carlyle. This was a lovely emotional read. For The Love of Emma won the 1996 RT Reviewers' Choice Award ~ Harlequin Romance category

Description from the book back cover: Carlyle Brackman was Briony's boss - and what an ogre! Then she saw him in another light - as a tender, devoted father. It was a transformation that almost melted Briony's heart - almost made her agree to Carlyle's request: marry him and be a mother to Emma ... now that Emma had only months to live. Maybe Briony could accept that Carlyle didn't love her. But could she ever forget the pain of losing her little sister so suddenly and cruelly ... for Emma's sake?
