characters are both strong and vulnerable

He'd always been a mystery to her. Rachel Quinn's unrequited high school crush ended when her family moved when she was fifteen. Now his sister's child brings them together when she delivers the two-week-old infant to her Uncle Kane Riley. She knew this wasn't going to be easy, but she certainly couldn't have predicted the results of her 1200-mile trip. Kane inherited the house, the same home that had at one time belonged to Rachel's family. He'd been the town bad-boy. She had been the girl he'd gone to sleep thinking about, but he'd never indicated how he felt. Unexpected announcement regarding the death of his sister, and the delivery of the infant into his custody, shocks Kane, but no more than his reaction to Rachel. Without any experience with children, Kane demands that Rachel stay until he can find the baby's father or hire a nanny. Rachel knows she's growing too attached, that she'd walk away from her home and career in a heart beat to gain a family, yet she stays. As baby and nanny take over his life, Kane's torn between longing for his previously uneventful, quiet life and satisfaction in his new connection to other people. But for Rachel and Kane to become a family, they both have to face the secrets of the past.The sexual and emotional tension keeps the pages turning in Jennifer Mikels THE CHILD SHE ALWAYS WANTED. Both lives lacking, both lives guarded and simple until a child brings them together, the hero and heroine find making a life around this child that they inadvertently share both challenging and necessary. With a deep understanding for her character's motivation, Mikels' characters are both strong and vulnerable, making THE CHILD SHE ALWAYS WANTED highly recommended.
