Erin Connell is raising her baby son Riley in the lodge
left to her upon the death of her husband. Erin and her
husband James were able to conceive Riley through a
fertility clinic. Now that she is alone, the Connell Lodge
is her 4 month old son's legacy. Receiving notification
that an error had been made at the fertility clinic, Erin is
threatened that James may not be Riley's biological father.
This will cause Erin to lose her home and her son his
legacy, with no way of supporting herself and her infant.
The first guest Erin has had since before Riley was born
arrives. At first glance, all she thinks is that Sam
Thornton is "sex on legs". There is an immediate attraction
between them which both work very hard to deny. Eventually
taking solace within each other, Sam begins to feel guilt at
his real reason for being there. He is Riley's biological
father and doesn't tell Erin. As the truth is revealed to
Erin they argue over both of their deceptions and Sam leaves
to pursue custody of his son. Not only does Erin find out
that James is not the father, but she receives even further
devastating news that threatens her with the loss of her
child. Sam offers visitation and a huge cash settlement to
Erin which only infuriates her further as she feels he is
buying her child. Realization eventually hits home and Sam
has to find a way to convince Erin that he loves her and
wants her as his wife and Riley's mother for the rest of
their lives.
A FATHER'S SECRET is packed with emotional ups and downs for a
young woman who has had a devastating upbringing but has
fought to drag herself up to become the woman and mother she
is. The tale is well written and clearly portrays the
struggle Erin has had to endure in her lifetime. I was
completely captivated with the plot of this tale. I will
definitely seek out other works from this talented author.
There'd been a mistake at the fertility clinic. Now widow
Erin Connell has to face the possibility that her baby son
is not her husband's child. And worse, that Connell Lodge,
her son's legacy and the only real home she's ever known,
may be lost to them both.
But billionaire Sam Thornton's arrival at her
bed-and-breakfast changes everything. Erin is stunned by the
ferocity of her sudden attraction. Sam, too, is
thunderstruck…and tormented. He's come here for one reason
only, and falling for the pretty owner isn't it. He's not
leaving without her son—his son….
