Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2000

THE DAD BEHIND THE BADGE

Philadelphia lawyer Anne Morden was a breath away from adopting Emilie, the child she had always longed for. All that was left to do now was to convince police chief Mith Donovan to sign away the rights to his precious daughter.

But with his denial of paternity, Mitch put baby Emilie's future at stake, and Anne's lifelong dream on hold. Yet Mitch seemed determined to make things right, if only Anne could trust him enough to let him help.

More About the Author

I realized I wanted to be a writer at age eight, when I read my first Nancy Drew novel, The Secret of the Old Clock. Most little girl reach the end of that book wanting to be Nancy. I wanted to be the person who created the story!
The dream lay hidden for years while I became a teacher, married, had children...all the usual things. But eventually it re-surfaced, and I began to write, beginning with short children's stories for Sunday school take-home papers. It seemed a long time until that first acceptance, but eventually I began to sell. After some three hundred published short stories, I finally found the courage to work on the novel I'd always wanted to write.
Thirty-some published novels later, I still feel the same excitement every time I begin a new book--a mix of not believing I can do it combined with an overwhelming urge to see the story on the page.
A lifetime spent in rural Pennsylvania and my own Pennsylvania Dutch roots eventually led me to the books I'm writing now about the Amish. The Pleasant Valley Amish series from Berkley Books are longer, more complex emotional stories with Amish main characters, while my forthcoming HQN suspense novels are more adventure-filled books set in Pennsylvania Dutch country. I'm also writing a Love Inspired series, The Bodine Family, set on the South Carolina coast where we have a second home.
When I'm not writing, I'm busy with church activities, traveling, and spending time with my three children and six beautiful grandchildren.

This review is from: Desperately Seeking Dad (Hometown Heroes, Book 1) (Love Inspired #91) (Mass Market Paperback)

Chief Mitchell Donovan isn't the father of Emilie, but Anne Morden believes he is.
Anne has to get Mitch's signature to adopt Emilie, and you guest it, they fall in love.
Although we expect it, it is a good book, becaues it is typical. I love it.
I also like Susan Fox, Essie Summers, Helen Brooks, Jessica Steele, Rebecca Winters, Eva Rutland, and Diana Palmer for the same reasons.
PS I stop reading writers who don't end on happy ever after notes.
