Feels Like Family

Helen Decatur has spent a lifetime setting goals and meeting them: college, law school, her own practice, financial security, a reputation as one of the most respected matrimonial attorneys in South Carolina. The goal she faces now is harder than all of them.

The most driven and most cynical of the Sweet Magnolias, Helen is forty-two, single and suddenly ready for the family she has kept on the back burner for years. Having a child at her age brings complications, not least the absence of a serious relationship in her life, but Helen is not the sort of woman to wait for fate to step in.

Taking charge of her own destiny puts her at odds with her two best friends, sets sparks flying with a man who does not want a family, and leads her straight into the most unexpected complication of all: love.
