Family Practice

by Judy Duarte

ALL OR NOTHING...

After a very bitter-very public-divorce, high-society surgeon Michael Harper needed a vacation. But his plans for peace and quiet hadn't included falling in love with a stubborn, self-reliant cocktail waitress from the wrong side of the tracks...or the two kids she hoped to adopt. Mansions, money-marriage. Michael was suddenly prepared to offer it all....

But Kara Westin refused to take charity from anyone, especially not from a sexy, well-meaning doctor who knew more about family fortunes than family values. Despite temptation, Kara was determined to keep her distance. The only way she'd surrender her pride was in exchange for his heart.

But this rugged ex-con's plan for a new life hadn't included falling for two adorable neighborhood girls-or their beautiful mother. Diana Lynch was the kind of woman he knew he couldn't have-a good girl, a true lady. And in her arms he almost felt like some kind of hero. Problem was, he knew she was better off without a man like him...no matter what his heart-or Diana's two little matchmakers-had to say.
