title: Ten Paces North
author: Lanor, Ellen
description: Since the age of four, fate has not been kind to her. Sabrina Morgan is a product of one foster home after another. None of the family who’s fostered her wants her around. She’s accepted only for as long as the State is willing to pay for her room and board. Little wonder then that she got into drugs, alcohol, and later prison. And no matter how much Sabrina tries to change her life, she can’t move on without anyone expecting her to keep on paying if she wants to keep her freedom. Regardless that she’s paid her dues to society. Sometimes it appears that the only way out is a leap of faith. Practically left standing at the altar twelve years previously, Thomas Egan has no desire to get married. But when he finds a gravely injured woman in his garden, his view changed. Even in the conditions the woman is in, he finds her to be lovely. And when their eyes met, an overwhelming desire to protect her comes to him.
