Temporary Family — Sally Tyler Hayes

FOR THE SAKE OE THE CHILD

Laura Sandoval loved young, orphaned Rico as if he were her own son. But she knew the boy needed much more than a mother's loving arms. For the once-cheerful child was now refusing to speak, afraid of something--someone--that Laura could not discover.

She knew of only one man to turn to: Nick Garrett. But even as the self-exiled doctor attempted to unlock Rico's hidden fears, danger came calling. And suddenly this makeshift family of three was on the run.

Their only clue existed in the mind of a silent child. Their only chance meant staying together. Their only recourse was to fall in love.
