Daddy Protector (Harlequin American Romance Series)

The Story

The neighbor made Connie Simmons see red. An irresponsible party animal with the kind of magnetism that made her knees shake, he was mostly an irritation-- with a generous dollop of temptation mixed in. But because he rescued her child from a fire and got hurt, it was only neighborly to call a truce. Detective Hale Crandall had spent months wondering how to patch things up with the blond bombshell next door. Saving her adopted son Skip-- while it almost got him killed-- had been a lucky break. Now he just needed to make himself an indispensable part of their lives-- and wait!
