Wife Wanted

What other disaster could befall Natalie Fortune?

Her longawaited vacation had been waylaid, her “new life” postponed. Instead of lounging on deck chairs across the Mediterranean, she was stuck on ten acres of lakefront with crutches, painkillers, and a persistent ex-boyfriend on the answering machine.

Between coaxing the dog and weathering Fortune family drama, the last complication she needed was a devoted father who whipped up home-cooked dinners and made her pulse race.

Eric Dalton had made her an offer she couldn't refuse. But was letting the gorgeous bachelor and his sweet little boy into her life Mistake No. 999, or the new beginning she'd been waiting for?
