Family We Haven’t Met

What does it take to come home to yourself?

Thirty-six years ago, Jo Cooper fled her birthplace, the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. She swore she’d never return—and until now, she hasn’t. The island holds too much of what she wants to forget. But her mother has died. Jo is forced back, and she is none too happy about it.

As the last surviving member of her family, Jo thought she would be named executor of her mother’s estate. Instead, her mother put everything in the hands of one Adelia García Morales—a tight-ass lawyer, meddling in family business!

Adelia, a prominent local lawyer with a spotless professional reputation, has spent years living down the humiliation of her ex-wife’s infidelities. Determined never to be that vulnerable again, she keeps desire at bay by immersing herself in work.

As the two women navigate past and present, history and culture together, Adelia finds it more and more challenging to keep a professional distance from the handsome engineer. Because the more attracted she becomes to Jo, the harder it becomes to hide the truth: She is investigating a Cooper family secret that could shatter Jo.

From Goldie Award-winning author Patricia Spencer comes a rich story of mature love, troubled pasts, and the people who make us what we are.
