She must act quickly because the doctor said he wouldn’t last out the week. A problem arises after the marriage—Nathan doesn't die, and the couple comes to the realization they need to end the marriage or try to live as a family to make the best of the situation for the child. Can Nathan live with Allie's problem, and can Allie cope with Nathan’s disability? Will the platonic arrangement become permanent or will the couple come to fall in love?

AKA Barbara A. Masci & Barbara Masci-Goss From Kindle Author Page: Barbara Masci Goss is now just Barbara Goss. I live in Western New York State and have three grown sons, two step daughters and 10 grandchildren. I wrote my books in the early '90's and now that I'm retired I have obtained the book rights and am converting them to Kindle. That's exciting for me because I don't read paper books at all anymore. I have designed new covers with a new author name: Barbara Goss. My first two books "Captured Heart" and "Forbidden Legacy" went to a second printing in the mid '90's and the publisher added my name as Barbara Masci-Goss, but I now prefer to keep it short and sweet. From Author Website: I'm from Western New York, and I live with my husband and two cats, Mandy and Molly. I wrote these books in the early 1990's in paperback. My publishers were Fleming Revell and Baker Book House. Now, I have the rights and have put them out on E-Books so people can still enjoy them. My goal in writing these books is to provide clean but still romantic and adventurous novels for all ages. I've always felt that we needed more clean, wholesome books. When I wrote these books there were but a handful of Christian romance writers. Now, thankfully there are more. My biggest influence in writing was Grace Livingston Hill. Enjoy.
