THE EDDINGTON LEGACY

The last thing Joshua Eddington wanted was to return to Titusville, Indiana. But the Eddington Foundry was on the verge of col-lapse, and it was up to Joshua to salvage the family business, which his younger brother had botched over the past four years. Since the Eddington Foundry had claimed her husband's life three years ago, Shayna O'Malley had steered clear of the company that employed her father and brothers, as well as most of the men in Titusville. But when an elegant stranger with sun-bleached hair and cool green eyes appeared on her doorstep, Shayna had no choice but to face Joshua Eddington, who had come to offer her a generous settlement. But the well-mannered Mr. Eddington didn't understand that Shayna could never, ever put a price on the life of her dead husband. Joshua couldn't believe the stubborn refusal of this spirited lady with flashing blue eyes and bobbing black curls. She was tougher than many of the men he'd negotiated with, feistier than the sophisticated women he'd dated. And yet, this small-town girl stirred feelings deep inside him. For the first time in his life, Joshua Eddington had met his match.
