If Sam Collier's life has taught him anything, it's that
promises can't be trusted. . .
Especially promises
from the people who were supposed to love him. People like
his father. . .
Ian Collier abandoned him when he was
four, and Sam was a drifter for years afterward. He's
finally begun to make peace with his past--and that's when
he learns the shocking news. Ian Collier is dead.
He
returns to Ian's house in Seattle and finds a woman named
Kathleen Cahill living there, the woman Ian had planned to
marry. Within weeks Sam has fallen in love with her. Deeply
in love--for the first time in his life. And then Kathleen
tells him she's pregnant. With his baby? Or Ian
Collier's?
Now, thanks to Kathleen, he learns a
secret about his father. A secret and a truth. And now--for
the first time in his life--Sam Collier understands what
fatherhood really means.
