A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer

Charlotte Atherton is determined to keep her three young charges safe, even after losing her position at Sullivan's Academy for Exceptional Youths. She is particularly driven to protect Lily, the young girl she pledged to raise after the girl's mother died, even if it means keeping her away from her dishonest grandfather.

Stone Hammond is determined that after he tracks down the kidnapping teacher, it will be his last assignment and he'll finally have the money he needs to settle down and purchase his own property. How hard can it be to bring in one pesky female?

Karen Witemeyer weaves a delightful tale of two who are at odds with each other but must find a way to protect a young girl. I found her new novel to be a 5 out of 5 when it comes to happily-ever-after endings.
