Destiny Came Knocking — Cindy Roland Anderson

When Piper Jensen's dog has a litter of puppies that aren't anything like their purebred mother, she immediately suspects the culprit responsible for the mishap is her neighbor's derelict dog. Seeking restitution, Piper confronts the owner, Gabe Wesson, a single father of two children that likes to keep to himself. She isn't prepared for Gabe to be so handsome, nor so disagreeable, and is irritated by his demands for a paternity test to prove his dog is the sire. As she and Gabe try to work things out, they both fight a growing attraction neither one of them want. But when Piper finds her heart falling in love with his children, it might be the catalyst that tips the scale towards a destiny she never dreamed possible.
