A STRANGER... Temporarily retired dancer—and big-city girl—Carly Stewart was aghast when a fender bender caused her to set up housekeeping in Sam Frazier's house in tiny Haven, Oklahoma. But "aghast" didn't begin to describe her reaction as she realized she was attracted to this tall, dark and handsome...farmer! And father...of six! IN PARADISE? Widower and single father Sam had become an expert at reading signs, and the petite and feisty beauty currently residing with him might as well have had "Just Passing Through" written all over her. And though he was finding her nearly impossible to resist, resist he must—because if and when she walked out that door, she would leave seven hearts in pieces. But if she stayed, she could make seven people really happy. Or even...eight?
