About the book
Seven year-old Andrew Fielding wants a new mother, and a wife for his daddy. He thinks he's found the perfect woman for both of them: Megan Sanders. Which is fine with Megan. The Fielding men have their attraction -- one is cute as a button, the other as sexy as they come. Together, they're the family Megan's always wanted! Unfortunately, widower Kane Fielding is determined to protect his independence, and the dark secret only his late wife knew about. But Kane's in-laws have always blamed him for their daughter's mysterious death. They would do anything to get their grandson away from his father, and Kane would do anything to keep him close. Even the one thing he's promised he'll never do again... marry!
