She yearns for a soul-stirring connection-and her prayers are answered in a way she could never have predicted... A pregnant girl shows up at Molly's hospital, alone and terrified, only to be murdered after she gives birth. But Molly made this young mother a promise, and she now flees with the baby to her own hometown. With everyone assuming the infant is hers, she has no trouble hiding the much more explosive truth-until a sexy reporter with smoldering eyes starts asking probing questions. Dean Coletta wants to know everything about this "mother and child"...even as he longs to hold Molly's body next to his...even as he carefully guards his own shocking secret, the one that now threatens the child Molly loves more than life itself.
