Thursday's Child

LITTLE BOY LOST

Marlie Stynehearst had been raising her orphaned nephew for years when another family's nightmare became her own. She discovered that young Ryan had been kidnapped from his own backyard, then adopted by her unwitting brother. And now, Marlie had to find Ryan's rightful family and give up her beloved child.

Widower Bryce Powell had lost everything when his son disappeared, and suddenly, after he'd lost all hope, too, a brokenhearted woman brought his son home.

Bryce couldn't bear to separate his son from the only parent Ryan had ever known, so he proposed a marriage of convenience to Marlie, a woman he was bound to only by apiece of paper -- and by the child they both loved.
