They’ll do anything for the baby’s sake! Only from New York Times bestselling author Barbara Dunlop!
He came to the United States to find his adversary, not fall for a tempting stranger. Yet millionaire Brody Calder can tell Kate Dunhern needs his help. She’s desperate to know her orphaned niece is in a loving home. But baby Annabelle is actually in the hands of Brody’s enemy.
Though their motives are different, their goal is the same: take down the baby’s nefarious father and get Annabelle safely into Kate’s arms. It means playing a risky game—one where pretend passions could reveal real feelings both unexpected...and dangerous.

She felt a warmth rise over her wrist, up the inside of her arm and through to her chest. She didn’t want him to let go.

Stale cigarette smoke warred with sharp memories as Kate Dunhern stood in the doorway of her mother’s tattered third-floor walk-up in south central Los Angeles.
“Darling,” her mother Chloe cried, pulling her into a bony embrace.
Chloe’s hair was cut spiky short, her tank top crisp with colored sequins, and the scent of Vendi Dark Mist wafted in an invisible cloud around her. The floor seemed to shift momentarily, and Kate was transported back to her childhood.
“I didn’t think you’d come,” Chloe singsonged, rocking Kate back and forth in her arms.
