Undercover Baby
INSTANT DADDY...
Police officer Cade Maconahey was a loner -- until the day his baby son arrived on the doorstep. Suddenly the man who faced the toughest criminals without flinching was wrapped around his son's tiny fingers. Cade had never thought he'd have a family. Now he was a father....
OR WAS HE?
Two attempts on her life hadn't stopped Joanna Edwards's frantic search for her missing baby. The trail led to Cade's door, where she found a fierce protector -- and a baby whose age exactly matched her child's. Joanna didn't know which was more dangerous -- the trap tightening around her, or falling for the man who thought her baby was his own...

NEW RELEASE!! The Skinny On Jack book #2 in the humorous Jack B Smart cozy mystery series.
https://amzn.to/2Kg7S0q
Jacqueline Bouviér Smart, aka Jack B to friends and family, is an aspiring mystery writer and part time amateur sleuth who has once again sworn off men and murder.
Inheriting shares in a weight loss company over the holidays should be a good thing, not something that leads to bombs going off and your car getting blown up. Right? Jack B doesn’t think so. Nor does she trust on again, off again beau, Seattle Police Detective Stone Maddox to catch the culprits.
When she starts to investigate, she discovers more might be disappearing at the weight loss clinic than pounds. The owner has been missing for a few months. Before she can figure out what’s going on, her counselor dies. Then Stone gets involved, and his brother Duke, and three gun-totin’ grannies, and even her deceased ex-husband. Before Jack B knows what hit her, she’s up to her favorite hoop earrings in men and murder. Again.

This month's Top Secret Baby comes from Adrianne Lee in "Undercover Baby." Months after her baby died at birth, Joanna Edwards learns that her child is alive. Her hunt for the baby's midwife, who disappeared after the birth, leads her to Cade Maconahey, the woman's ex-husband. Cade has enough on his hands with the baby his ex-wife left with him, the child he never knew he had. Can he help Joanna find hers?
Lee puts an entirely different twist on the usual secret child plot that makes this a cut above the rest. I enjoyed the way she turned this cliché on its head and made her story one of a kind. I've never seen an author do what Lee does here and I liked it a lot. (That doesn't mean I want to see it repeated a hundred times by other authors, thank you.) The Top Secret Babies miniseries has featured better than normal secret child stories, but what they've also had in common was some very fast-paced, gripping stories. "Undercover Baby" is no exception. Like Lee's best work, this is a true pageturner, packed with emotion and suspense. The pace is blistering, never letting up for a moment and Joanna's search will grab reader's hearts. Though there's not much in the way of character growth and Joanna and Cade are pretty thinly developed, they are likable and easy to root for.
There are a lot of books that claim to be romantic suspense, and while most of them put their characters in dangerous situations , few of them really keep me on the edge of my seat, gripping the book tightly and anxiously turning pages. This is one. Like her last book, "Little Boy Lost," "Undercover Baby" has a true sense of suspense. Lee is also one of the few authors able to write a reliably good mystery, and here she has penned another one. She has a good grasp of her suspects, knows how to drop clues, and offers a surprising and satisfying resolution.
"Undercover Baby" is an excellent romance told in Lee's singular style, with the perfect balance of suspense and mystery. If all secret child books were as good as this and the last few Top Secret Babies have been, I might be more excited about them. Don't miss this one.

Right in the beginning the heroine, Joanna, finds out that the baby she thought was stillborn is actually alive. The search for the midwife, Nancy Wheeler, who is the only person that knows where her daughter is, leads Joanna to Nancy's ex-husband, Cade Maconahey. Nancy recently left their son Cody with Cade without any explanations. Although Cade is upset about the situation, he loves Cody and it's really sweet how he tries to take care of him. When Joanna arrives to speak with him about her daughter and Nancy, she ends up taking care of Cade's son. Their lives are in danger and everyone believes that the womanizer and father of Joanna's daughter, Shane, who is running for governor, is behind all the violence. Near the middle it seemed like any one of the secondary characters could be behind the attacks. The truth is really interesting, especially, when it's revealed how the lives of more than one character have been connected for a long time.
Cade is a great character. It was really nice to read about his gentleness towards Cody and how he helps Joanna. What I really liked about Joanna is her thoughts on the situation relating to her baby. She doesn't think selfishly. I enjoyed reading it.

Although a Harlequin book, it was more a love mystery. Someone is trying to get at Joanna by killing the people around
