Dangerous Longing — Carolyn Wren

Covert operative, Jane Preston, is on her first solo mission, assigned to protect four year old Amelia Foster, the victim of a kidnap attempt. Jane is instantly captivated by her young charge.

Amelia's widowed father is another matter. Philanthropist, Paul Foster, is stern, cold and a workaholic. The man is an impenetrable fortress, seemingly unable to express a single emotion except anger.

Another kidnap attempt leaves Jane convinced the threats aren't random. Paul claims the motive is greed. Something just doesn't ring true. What is the true mystery? Why can't Paul seem to connect with his own beautiful daughter?

Even while her feelings for the solitary widower grow, Jane can't ignore the truth. Paul is hiding something from them all.
