book # 101 is by one of my favorite authors. The heroine name is Susannah McKittrick....I wonder if that is where the author got the name for her later books where the family name is McKettrick.

The Book:

When Susannah McKittrick leaves Nantucket for the boomtown of Seattle, she is hardly looking to strke it rich; she is headed west to care for a newborn left motherless after Susannah's cousin died. Although the rigorous trip depletes all of her savings, Susannah is certain she is doing the right thing. She is less sure when she mets the infant's father, wealthy businessman Aubrey Fairgrieve—who seems embittered toward love and marriage, and indifferent toward the precious baby Susannah is so eager to care for.

Gradually, Susannah discovers that Audrey's marriage to her cousin was far from perfect—and she comes to see the brusque but handsome man in a new light. But when Aubrey makes her a most practical offer, it is a far cry from the heartfelt proposal Susannah desires. If he truly wants to win her hand, he will have to learn to trust once more—and sweep her away with the bold passion of a man in love.

My Take:

This must be a case where the blurb on the back was written before the book was even published. The blurb above refers to Susannah's "cousin". ..the story is actually about her childhood friend (with whom she grew up in a orphanage),

Well, anyway, this is a very good book...highly recommended.
