Back Cover description: Resist her charming neighbor's advances? No problem--even if Marine Sergeant Brian Haley's killer smile sent shivers up Kathy Tate's spine. No sir, Kathy had sworn off love and marriage, and nothing in the rugged marine's arsenal could break through Kathy's defenses. Nothing except...A baby? When Brian's surprise daughter ended up in his care, Kathy couldn't ignore the tiny tot's plaintive cries or the instant dad's S.O.S. And when the sexy marine proposed a marriage of convenience, Kathy couldn't say no. After all, the passionate dad had melted Kathy's resolve--but could she commit to a loveless union after Brian and baby had captured her heart?
Typical and run-of-the-mill story. Why do I always like the male characters in this series and have a problem with the females? There is something about the female lead in this one that doesn't ring true, first she's avoiding him, then when he has a baby she can't stay away? Even Brian's own mother can't be bothered to show up for a few days before her cruise to help out. I really like Brian, so read the story for him.
