Love is More Than Skin Deep - Mary Crawford

A simple tattoo wasn't supposed to change her life.

Shelby Lyons wanted to celebrate her hard work and never-ending dreams when she accepted a position teaching math. What seemed like a simple plan was complicated by devastating news.

Attorney Mark Littleson's life gives the word complex new meaning. Being a single dad of an autistic daughter and juggling his legal firm should be enough of a challenge. But, as soon as he encounters a tearful Shelby, he can't resist the urge to reach out to her.

Having wandered the streets like some sort of nomad, Shelby isn't interested in being someone else's burden. It's hard for her to ask for help. Even so, this ready-made family fulfills her in ways she had not imagined.  Shelby has never met a man like Mark, but he makes it far too easy to feel like she belongs.

Mark never expected to fall in love. Unfortunately, life keeps getting in the way. He must convince Shelby that love is more than skin deep.

If you enjoy a clean and wholesome romance novel full of family, bravery, and heart inspired by true-life events, you'll love Love is More Than Skin Deep, the fourth standalone book in the Hidden Hearts series.
