Sweet contemporary romance
Elementary school teacher Delaney Smallwood struggles through each day financially and with the inherit problems a struggling school district's financial problems bring to bear.
Raised by her loving aunt after her mother's death and her father's desertion, they struggle to get by as a team.
Delaney gets the mail before her aunt on a particularly bad day...and finds a birthday card from said m.i.a. Dad.... with a Powerball ticket.
Just one more sad event in her already bad week.
Desperate for funds she requests any available tutoring jobs to shore up her funds and gets a new pupil...the hot new lawyer's troubled daughter.
She accepts the job and while chaperoning a youth group...finds out she won. Strangely enough the hot lawyer overhears her exclaim and tries to talk her out of claiming the money. Is he crazy???
This story tells of how right and empowering such a win could be …...if one's head is on straight. Add to that a smokin' hawt dad and his troubled but sweet daughter and it's a winner. I applied an was granted an ARC on Netgalley and plan to buy Ms. Swanson's other contemporary romances.
Great uplifting tale...not too short or too long.
