Just how...committed...is he? There is nothing Cristina Roman loves more than being a mom. Although working as the chef at her family's inn, Ladera by the Sea, is a close second. And a quickly rising third is her new - or actually old - love interest, Shane McCallister, the local contractor. After her soldier husband's tragic death, Cris thought she would never be able to move on. But with the way Shane bonds with her five-year-old son, she might be persuaded. Except then her in-laws sue her for custody of Ricky. Now facing every mother's worst nightmare, she'll do anything not to lose her child, and Shane is determined to help. Could her sister's Christmas wedding be their inspiration?

If he stays, she's in danger. But if he leaves...

All Mike Ryan can tell her is his name. Revealing any more to this beautiful stranger would put her in danger. And he's not willing to jeopardize Stevi Roman's-or her family's-safety any more than he already has. Why this angel has taken him in, nursed him and trusted him, he can't fathom. But it has been the best few weeks he's ever known. For the first time, Mike can imagine having a real life, a real identity, a real future. Stevi has done more than save him. She's inspired him.

And that's why he has to go. The safest thing he could do for all of them is to disappear....
