The author has written a sweet and heartwarming story full of lots of human emotions， some not so pretty。 This is Alanna Foley and Donald Dill's story and the character development is excellent。 Neither Alanna nor Donald have necessarily had an easy life， which is reflected in the way they look at things。 Donald sends for a MOB with specific demands but when Alanna arrives she is not at all what he had requested plus she had an undisclosed baby which she claimed was her sister's who had died。 Do The author has written a sweet and heartwarming story full of lots of human emotions， some not so pretty。 This is Alanna Foley and Donald Dill's story and the character development is excellent。 Neither Alanna nor Donald have necessarily had an easy life， which is reflected in the way they look at things。 Donald sends for a MOB with specific demands but when Alanna arrives she is not at all what he had requested plus she had an undisclosed baby which she claimed was her sister's who had died。 Donald believed Alanna was lying。 As the couple work through all of the doubt， mistrust and trouble that dogs them will Donald find out Alanna was in fact telling the truth？ Will the couple be able to develop a loving relationship which will grow into a HEA？ Be sure to read this wonderful story to find out。 I know you will enjoy this story as much as I did。 。。。more
