Synopsis:
Emma Dodd has always taken care of everyone. She raised her niece when they were orphaned and she cares for the students that she works with. Deciding to move to Fairfield where her niece now lives, she was hoping to finally find a place to call home.

Jake Campbell, was gorgeous enough to catch any woman’s eye, but he had a hard time finding the right one for him. A Fairfield detective, he lives with his mother to help care for her since she was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. After meeting Emma, he knows he has met the woman of his dreams. Now he just has to convince the independent Emma that it is time someone took care of her.

While helping one of her students, Emma becomes suspicious of criminal activity in her new town. Will Jake be able to save Emma in time for them to build a life together?
Review by Gia:
I loved reading Emma's Home.   It's Maryann Jordan's debut novel and she really did hit it out of the park with this one.  It has romance and suspense.  Emma hasn't had easy life. She has ended up raising her niece  (Laurie) who isn't much younger than her.   Emma moves to be closer to Laurie.  She meets Jake who is a friend of Laurie's boyfriend.  It's funny because at first Jake expects Emma to be old because she is Laurie's Aunt.  Jake and Emma have instant chemistry.  Jake is taking care of his sick mother, which has been a deal breaker for all the other girls he has dated.   He's afraid that it might be a deal breaker for Emma too.
Emma works at a high school and some of the football players have come to her attention by falling behind in school work.  Jake and Rob are police officers for the town.  Emma's work and Jake's work collide when Emma gets threatening letters. I found who was involved in leaving the note a little predictable but I still read on because I wasn't sure. 
There is no cliffhanger.
