Romance Series

Daniel Kane, successful owner of Kane Construction in San Francisco, lacks the ability to love or be loved. His mother died with a multitude of secrets regarding his true heritage. His unstable childhood and uncertainty of the identity of his real father has left Daniel bitter and angry. Then he's surprised to learn he has a young son with Rebecca Ballard, who's been on his mind since their breakup.

Upon finding he's a father, as well as discovering newfound siblings, Daniel must re-evaluate his own worth and his true feelings where Rebecca is involved. Endeavoring to understand the puzzle of his mother's love life and the impact it had on him, Daniel strives to overcome his unhappy childhood and lack of love. Determined his son will grow up knowing who his father is, Daniel searches for love and peace within himself.

A MOTHER'S SECRET is a tender and touching story beginning with an unloved child who, as an adult, believes love is only a word. Loving another is not on his agenda, until he discovers he has a son of his own. The characters are very believable people with real pain and sorrow as they attempt to overcome their pasts. I intend to search out more stories by this author.

SUMMARY

Seems history has a nasty way of repeating itself for Daniel Kane. It's bad enough his mother harbored a secret about his heritage. Now his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Ballard is trying to do the same thing! Not on his watch. His son is going to know who his father is.

But to give his child the future he deserves, Daniel has to make nice with Rebecca. That he can do. But he's not so sure he can forgive her for keeping their child a secret. Funny thing happens, though. Spending all that time with the pair makes him realize he might still care for her….
