Summary: PROTECT MY CHILD!
Review: Wonderfully written story because I couldn't stand Annie Burns!
Five years ago Annie's best friend appeared, in labor, and begged Annie to take her baby and never, ever tell her ex-husband about the child. She filled Annie so full of fears about her ex that Annie willingly agreed.

Annie runs a B&B and is pushed by her little red-headed daughter's questions about mommies that she decided to go ahead with a legal adoption.

Through the legal contact, Grayston Powers learns that he has a child. He shows up and immediately knows that Bella is his daughter. He does all he can to spend time with Bella without upsetting her.

Annie is the one who goes overboard and lives in constant fear of Gray taking Bella away from her. She constantly feeds her fear and distrust of Gray even when she later finds out that her friend had a lot of problems.

The attraction between the two of them is explosive but neither can recognize love when it grips them. But for the sake of Bella they decide to marry - ah well, so the trouble brews.

Excellent story - Annie becomes tiresome - Bella is delightful - Grey is ?? -- Maggie, twice divorced, sure must have made some doozy of mistakes - Annie, divorced -- Gray, divorced ------- we sure start out with a bunch of losers! It happens I guess!

Will definitely recommend -- finally a good ending. You must decide.
