Excellent!

Wow! Emily McKay has done it again. She's given us a touching story with characters to love and a romance for even the most cynical person to believe in. Lucy Alwin will stop at nothing to protect her baby niece. After her irresponsible twin sister leaves the baby on the doorstep of the father, Lucy decides it's best to pose as her sister, claim to have made a mistake and then walk away with the baby. However, Lucy doesn't count on powerful businessman Dex Messina embracing fatherhood. According to the tabloids, wasn't he a playboy after all? But the precious baby soon wraps Dex around her finger, and Lucy begins to realize he isn't the cold, unfeeling man she expected. When Lucy finds herself falling in love with Dex, she knows she must tell him the truth. But will Lucy's lies tear them apart or can this perfect family be mended? As a devoted fan of Ms. McKay, I knew her talents would once again capture my heart when I sat down to read this book. However, I was totally unprepared for the excellent twists she throws into Lucy and Dex's love story, ones that had me turning pages as fast as I could. The problems surrounding Lucy and Dex, the fears they both keep guarded, threaten to derail any chance of a happily-ever-after. But once again, Ms. McKay doesn't disappoint her readers. Wonderful plotting, believable characters (not to mention one adorable baby!), and the unfolding of a tender romance make this a first-class read not to be missed!

Category romance at its best

What a brilliant twisting to the old secret baby plot! This book was refreshing, poignant, authentic and full of characters that walked right off the page. Dex and Lucy will long live in my memory. McKay is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Fun, Satisfying Read

I had a great time reading this book. If all the other Desire authors are as good as Emily McKay, I'll keep coming back for more. Her diamond-mogul hero and actuary heroine are sexy and engaging. McKay has crafted a never-predictable plot that keeps things moving right up to the satisfying happily ever after.
