The Housekeeper's Daughter

"Just how pregnant are you, anyway?"

Mighty Drake Colton could handle the Navy's most dangerous missions–but the housekeeper's daughter now had him buffaloed. Eight months ago the tough and resilient SEAL had come home to celebrate Joe Colton's sixtieth birthday and had ended up sharing his body and soul with Maya Ramirez. But the sheets had barely cooled from their heated lovemaking when he'd walked out to put his life on the line again. And she'd done the unthinkable. The woman who'd worshiped him since childhood–who was now carrying his baby–had closed her heart to him. Well, Drake was used to getting what he wanted. And Maya would be his–whatever it took!
