The Water Baby — Roz Denny Fox

A Child is Rescued from the Sea
Daisy Sloan is B.O.I. ("Born on Island"-Galveston, that is) and a shrimper by trade. One day, she anchors her trawler in a secluded bay called Rum Row, notorious for its illegal exchanges. A luxury yacht anchors nearby--and explodes. There's only one survivor, a little girl. Daisy pulls her from the sea.

A Family Man Finds His Lost Daughter
Temple Wyatt--owner of hotels and builder of resorts. He adores his only child, five-year-old Rebecca. Then she's kidnapped by her mother (Temple's ex-wife) and disappears without a trace--until she shows up in a Galveston hospital, months later. With her is a woman called Daisy Sloan, a woman who's far too casual, too irreverent--too delightful--for his peace of mind. But Rebecca desperately needs Daisy. Which means that Temple needs her, too. In more ways than he ever could have guessed!
