A Time to Embrace by Dora Hiers

Can two forever friends finally surrender their fears and become a forever family?

Her “no dating” policy exists for good reason.
Sierra Danby doesn’t trust men. Except for one man. Camdon Lambright has always been there for her, a rock for her and for his family. But they’re friends, and she intends to keep it that way. Why would she risk losing her best friend to something so fictitious as romance? Besides that, isn’t her daughter proof that men could be ruthless?

His priority is Operation Romance Sierra.
In over a decade, he never once pushed the boundaries of their friendship. But now that his family no longer needs him, Deputy City Manager Camdon Lambright figures it’s time to let Sierra know how much he loves her and her precious daughter. Her plea for help with a city-sponsored excursion might just be the ticket to propel their relationship from “forever friends” to “forever family” and give him time to mull over a possible promotion. When the fifty seniors support his efforts, he can’t help but get his hopes up that Sierra might finally see him as part of her future.

Can two forever friends surrender their fears and become a forever family?
Can he convince Sierra to give love another chance or will she lump him in the same category as the other cruel men in her life? When Sierra learns that her job is on the chopping block, will she embrace her fledgling faith and trust the sweet and gentle man she’s come to love?
