If I Loved You
Parenthood is never easy, but especially not when murder is involved.<br /><br />Successful career woman Pattie Bowen isn’t used to feeling helpless. But when her D-List actress sister dies, Pattie has no idea how to care for her sister's toddler orphan. She’d never expected to be a parent. She’d certainly never expected the chaos a two-year-old can create. To make matters worse, no nanny will stay on with the difficult child.<br /><br />Until manny Zane Kincaid arrives. A former jet designer, blackballed for blowing the whistle on life-threatening corruption and then deserted by his wife, Zane has chucked the high-powered world he once knew. He now devotes his time to caring for the only people who’re innocent enough to appreciate it: children. Zane has no intention of getting involved with his new employer, even if she is attractive, single, and tempting.<br /><br />Then Zane discovers that Pattie’s sister left her more than one sad child – a whole lot more, and all of it dangerous. Of course the vexatiously independent Pattie intends to take on all threats single-handed. Zane finds it increasingly difficult to remember he’s given up saving the world – or even one feisty woman.<br /><br />A full-length, humorous and sexy romantic suspense.<br />
