Perfect Partners - June 1999

One of Carly's more traditional, emotional titles written early in her career under her real name, Karen Drogin.

To heal a little girl's heart, they must open their own.

For the first time in her career, attorney Chelsie Russell wants to lose a case. Representing her parents in the custody battle over their two-year-old granddaughter, Alix, has been a mistake, and only added to her sorrow over her sister and brother-in-law's tragic death. So when custody is awarded to Alix's bachelor uncle, Griffin Stuart, Chelsie is relieved, and determined not to let her beloved niece slip out of her life.

When Griff Stuart wins the right to raise his late brother's child, the last thing he wants is an offer of help from the woman who spearheaded the bitter courtroom battle. But when he discovers that Alix's Aunt Chelsie is the only one who can soothe the little girl's night terrors, he's forced to admit he needs her.

What begins as an uneasy alliance between Chelsie and Griff grows into an emotional connection neither can deny. For in bringing tenderness into a little girl's life, they will find they have turned suspicion into trust, anger into longing, and an awkward agreement between adversaries into an awakening of the heart...
