READY-MADE FAMILY NEEDS TENDER LOVING CARE

Healing children was her life, her passion...all she needed. Until sexy single father Rafe Pierson brought his daughter to her rustic ranch. The solemn little girl longed for a mother, and Shannon Collins suddenly longed to be a mother. But being Janine's mother meant being Rafe's wife...and the deputy district attorney had made it clear he never intended to marry again.

Shannon taught his grief-stricken daughter to live again and gave him back the sweet sound of his little girl's laughter. Then Shannon challenged Rafe to want more. She challenged him to open his own aching heart and ask for more from life-from her-than just fleeting pleasure.
