Neil Ranard è abituato a starsene per i fatti suoi e a non dare confidenza a nessuno, soprattutto alle donne. La delusione che lo ha segnato in passato, e che ha sancito la fine del suo matrimonio, è ancora troppo vivida per essere ignorata. Per questo si stupisce dell'immediata attrazione che prova per la sua collega Gabby Evans, forte, coraggiosa, incredibilmente sexy e incinta. Di suo fratello. Il passato sembra essere tornato apposta per tormentarlo, ma Neil è deciso, questa volta, a fare la cosa giusta.
Dianne, a relative newcomer to romance fiction, is best known for her nonfiction work under the name JJ Despain. She has written seven nonfiction books, and her magazine articles have appeared in Country Living, Oxygen, Woman's Day, Family Circle, Ladies' Home Journal, Better Homes & Gardens, Parenting, Teen, Seventeen, and Writer's Digest. In addition to her writing, Dianne teaches a dozen writing workshops every year and also teaches a writing and publishing course at a state university.
Dianne's formal educational background is in classical music and nursing, with college degrees in both. She was a former symphonic bass player in her first career go-round, then a critical care nurse/anesthetist in her second. An injury caused a permanent disability, forcing Dianne to retire from nursing. As a consumer nonfiction writer today, one of her specialty areas is health.
Dianne's hobby and passion is antiques; she collects antique European oil lamps, vintage American kitchen utensils, and brooches from everywhere, circa 1600 – 1900. Her book, Everyday Antiques (Storey), was a Doubleday Book Club Antiques Roadshow alternate feature. Besides her passion for antiques, Dianne has a passion for animals — all six of hers are rescued from animal shelters.
Dianne is married to Joel, and their daughter Jennifer is a college student. In 2000, Dianne was the recipient of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery & Suspense.

Thank you Dianne for sharing your beautiful gift of storytelling with us all they and you will never be forgotten, sleep well dear lady 💜🦄💜
I am giving it 2 becoz I didn't like the story much... very pathetic romance.... how can a man adopt a child who is the son of the man who cheated with his wife.... there should have been some redemption for the male protagonist .... the female protagonist got so much from the male protagonist... a father for her child and a husband and lover... but the male protagonist didnt get much ./... a slightly better substitute for a cheating wife who in a cruel irony was knocked up by the same guy who cheated with his wife.... too much mental burden to cary for a lifetime...
