Grief over the death of a beloved cousin deepens to shock when Kristen Delmont is given custody of her cousin’s four-week-old son, Matty. When the birth certificate reveals Matty's father is none other than her sexy next-door neighbor, she is torn. Should she hand over the infant to his father and walk away, or should she honor her cousin's wishes and raise the baby as her own?
The more he behaves as a playboy, the more Kevin Grady wants a family of his own. The beautiful realtor next door and her “inherited” baby seem like the perfect opportunity. The startling discovery that her baby is his couples disbelief with anger, and he storms off with his son.
Two people, one dream. Will Matty be the glue that keeps them together, or will a heart be shattered forever?
When i saw the title and the blurb my interest was piqued. A woman hiding a child from his only living parents so that she could get a chance at being a mom– I was expecting explosion. But everything was so simple. There were no high or lows, it was flat. I understand that this was a 74 page read but I still expected something. She didn’t even put up a fight, she just kind of laid down and died. Very little was told about the characters and much less about their romance.
