Stand-In Wife

Synopsis

Tragedy had shattered Paul Manning’s whole world–leaving him a widower with three small children. Reeling from shock and grief, he turned in desperation to the one person he knew he could count on–gentle, caring Leah Baker.

Slowly, Leah eased his sorrow–and filled his life with new meaning. Then Paul made an amazing discovery: He needed Leah–and desired her with an overwhelming passion.

But asking Leah to be his wife was one thing; winning her trust was another. Somehow, he had to convince this woman he’d just vowed to honor and cherish forever that they belonged together–heart and soul.

THOSE MANNING MEN: Bound by blood, as different as only three brothers can be. Handsome, strong and tender, they’re fiercely independent . . . until love takes them by surprise.
