Jake's Child

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

Sarah Simpson awoke to someone pounding on the door of her isolated Everglades retreat. Soon she found herself playing reluctant hostess to a mysterious stranger named Jake Donnelly--and a little boy he implied was his son.

She could tell that Jake had sought her out deliberately. But why? And why did six-year-old Nicholas stir up such painful memories? Most disturbing of all was her passionate response to Donnelly himself ....

Jake had thought he knew everything about Sarah, but he was wrong. Instead of a coldhearted woman, he discovered she was vulnerable, soft, loving. Jake wanted her, but it was only a matter of time before she was lost to him--the day she learned the truth about his child.
