THE PRICE OF LOVE Mechanic Darcy Kearn is everything a man would ever want in a woman: beautiful, intelligent—and as skillful at fixing cars as she is at making romantic candlelight dinners for two. When attractive attorney Seth Halloran's car breaks down in her small Pennsylvania town, Darcy is eager to do both. Though the attraction between them is too powerful to ignore, Darcy soon faces a problem that may prove insoluble.... Her best friend is embroiled in a bitter custody battle—and the lawyer representing her ruthless ex-husband is none other than Seth. With her loyalties torn between her friend and the man she is rapidly coming to love, Darcy knows she will have to make a choice that could change her life forever. Unless she can learn to trust Seth with all her heart... and unless he can prove to her that the only thing that matters is a love that lasts forever....
