Homeward Bound Toni Noel

Successful businessman Luke Townsend hires Krista Lake to stage his Rancho Santa Fe estate for quick sale. He has unwillingly assumed the responsibility of running the family conglomerate following his father's sudden death and has placed his own plans on hold. The product of foster care, Krista longs for a home of her own, and promptly falls in love with Luke's. He wrongly believes unloading his house will relieve his stress until Krista points out the obvious -- his mother is also qualified to fill Luke's CEO shoes. Relinquishing the company reins frees Luke to move to Sacramento and head his favorite charity, a non-profit for fatherless, at-risk boys. He should be happy there, but he's not, even after his estate sells for a nice profit. The sale of the home she'd poured her soul into nearly breaks Krista's heart. Then Luke comes up with a plan to make everything right.
