Fathers And Other Strangers — Karen Templeton

THE FATHER OF HER CHILD?

Jenna Stanton had raised her niece, Blair, from birth, with nary a clue as to who the child's father was. Until now -- when the piece of paper in her hand led her to the inexplicably attractive grouchy ex-cop Hank Logan. How could she tell Hank that her daughter was his? And more important, should she?

The former detective in him told Hank that the pretty widow and the smart-mouth kid were in town for more than just the local scenery. But to say he was floored to find out the truth wasn't even close. Because in Blair and Jenna he was offered a chance to assume the two roles in life he'd sworn he would never take on. Father. And husband.
