About the book

Return of her husband...

Abbie Howard would do everything to make her daughter's wedding special. Everything, except to allow Cathy the one thing she most desired—to meet the father who'd walked away from his marriage before his baby was even born.

But Sam Howard wasn't to be kept away. His attraction was as devastating as ever and Abbie was tempted to forgive and and make up. But could she ever forget that he'd accused her of conceiving another man's child?
