The Matchmakers' Daddy

by Judy Duarte

Published 31 May 2005

WHEN HE HELD HER, HE HELD EVERYTHING HE WANTED...AND COULD NEVER HAVE.

He'd done his time, for a crime he hadn't committed, and now Zack Henderson was ready for a fresh start. With a good job, some savings and weekends with his little girl, his prospects were bright. 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.

THE SECRET WAS OUT

The towheaded son of stunning socialite Kristin Reynolds had to be his child. Because once upon a time fireman Joe Davenport and Kristin had been lovers, pulled apart by her prestigious family. He hadn't wanted to give her up then, and he refused to give up his son now. Of course, this time, he and Kristin were both adults. They could handle the intimacies of parenthood, without wanting more. And though the heat of her gaze, of her touch, was almost more than he could bear, he'd be damned if he'd reignite their old flame–even if Kristin was the one woman who tempted him to want the family, and the wife, he could never have.

SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HEROES

Hailey Conway believed in making a good, predictable life for herself. Until San Diego detective Nick Granger saved her from a mugger and swept her off her feet–and into bed. Their steamy one-night stand was almost enough to melt the snow that had stranded them together…and then they said goodbye.

Except Nick's dark eyes and whispered endearments haunted Hailey's dreams, and continued to set her world on edge. For their night together had conceived more than insatiable passion. They had a baby on the way. And when Hailey shared her secret, she knew the rugged rebel might break her heart…unless he became the hero who saved it.

I CAN'T LOSE MY CHILD!

Single mother Caitlin Rogers lived for just one thing: her little girl, Emily. So when her rights as a parent were threatened, Caitlin singlemindedly prepared to fight for her daughter by any means necessary. She just didn't count on distraction from the new neighbor next door….

Cobbling a family together wouldn't be easy…but it might be the only thing worth fighting for.
