    About this ebook


    LITTLE GIRL FOUND!

    Single father Sam Woodward refused to believe his beloved child was not his daughter. But here was Marcie Turner, hesitantly offering official–looking papers, claiming that she was his daughter's mother and that a big mistake had been made. And beyond the maternal love shining in her eyes, Sam recognized a familiar smile.

    And then the medical results came back and the unthinkable happened.

    Now, not only was Marcie moving into his daughter's heart she began sneaking into his, too. But Sam wasn't about to let Marcie join their family so easily. First she'd have to pass some of Sam's tests designed to last a lifetime.
