Josh Lorenz is the last man Diane Bittner wants for a neighbor—he's the holdout juror responsible for letting her husband's killer walk. But she finds herself outvoted when their preteen daughters conspire to bring their divided parents together.
Josh has always followed his conscience and hopes Diane can forgive him for doing what he believed was right. But he realizes he wants a lot more from the attractive single mother. With the help of their kids and their close-knit community, he and Diane have to decide what really matters. Reliving the mistakes of the past? Or planning their future—together?

My thoughts: When I think of America Romance, Jacqueline Diamond comes to mind. She is one of my favorites. This is the first installment in the Harmony Circle series. In Family Next Door, Jacqueline puts together a very unlikely couple - Josh, the one juror that lets a killer go free and Diane, the wife of the murder victim. Both are single parents and the children in the story are great. This is a wonderful emotional story of forgiveness, community, family and love. I look forward to reading more of the Harmony Circle series.

Hi Cady. This is a three
Hi Cady. This is a three book series unless more come later:
May 2008, The Family Next Door
August 2008, Baby in Waiting
January 2009, Million-Dollar Nanny
I hate the the 3rd book is so much later, but I'm sure I can find something to read in the meantime. I didn't order the Aug book from eHarlequin. I needed to add something to my pre-order of Acheron from B&N so I order this one and something else to get the free shipping.
