About the book
Wanted: wife or mother?
Joanne graciously stepped aside when Franco Farelli married her cousin four years before - her love for him kept a secret. Now Franco is a widower with an adorable little boy, Nico, and Joanne can't resist paying them a visit....
Her heart leaps when she sees Franco again; the attraction between them is still as strong as ever. Franco begs her to stay with them, if only for Nico's sake. But Joanne needs to believe Franco's desire for her isn't because she resembles her cousin, but because he wants her for herself....
