A Gift for Tenderness

by Peggy Webb

My Darling Clementine When sensible landlord Clementine Brady wished for a little romance to liven up her quiet life, she never dreamed that Michael Forrest would arrive at Brady's Boarding House. His ardent courtship made her feel as if she were starring in a fairy tale. But she sensed something awry... Woman-shy Michael had been hurt before, and he was sure that no female could be as sweet and as innocent as Clemmie seemed. Vowing to prove that she wasn't, Michael masqueraded as a rogue and romanced Clemmie with reckless abandon. Before long, he discovered he was in love -- and the only one pretending to be someone he wasn't. True colors revealed, could he convince Clemmie that he really was her long-awaited knight in shining armor?
