A NAVY SEAL'S SURPRISE BABY

Navy Seal Calder Remington needs a nanny for his 8 month old infant son, left on his doorstep. Not even knowing who the mother is, Calder desperately needs to find someone with the patience of Mother Teresa and who is flawlessly reliable as he accepts his own responsibility to his son Quinn. After spending a considerate amount of time interviewing nannys from the Earth Angels agency, this candidate would not have been considered if not for the fact that she stepped in and saved his son from choking. Pandora Moore is way too young and attractive to be the motherly nanny he seeks.

Pandora desperately needs this job to prove her reliability and stability to the court in gaining back custody of her young daughter, Julia. Suffering an extremely abusive marriage, alcoholism and drugs, she lost her daughter and must prove her rehabilitation as a fit mother. Working as an exemplary nanny for his son and even going the extra consideration of tending to his needs, this is a dream come true for Calder until he learns the nanny's background. Of course, he has already fallen for the woman and intended to carry things further. Horror at the facts held from him, Calder cannot fathom leaving his infant child with a woman who has lost her own child and insists she immediately leave his home. Everything turns wrong at the court hearing and Pandora is devastated. Will Calder's re- evaluation of their situation bring a right to the wrongs in both their lives and give them both a new lease on life?

I thoroughly loved this nostalgic and heart wrenching tale of a young woman losing everything in her life and striving to recapture what she holds dearest to her heart. A handsome Navy seal loses his care free and singles way of life to fatherhood and responsibility. A NAVY SEAL'S SURPRISE BABY is a beautiful story of self-redemption, forgiveness and love. You will remember this heart-warming tale for a long time to come. Laura Marie Altom is a very talented author and I look forward to reading the next episode in her Operation: Family series.

SUMMARY

He Needs Her Fatherhood is the last thing on navy SEAL Calder Remington's mind. On the job, he's a hardworking hero; in civilian life, he's a carefree bachelor. When he finds a babyβ€”his babyβ€”on his doorstep, he's got no choice but to be a dad. He needs help, and that's where super-nanny Pandora Moore comes in. She's perfect in every way. Calder can't deny that he's powerfully attracted to her. But she's his employee, which puts her strictly off-limits. And though Pandora may seem perfect, she becomes evasive whenever talk turns to her past. Calder can't help wondering if she's hiding something. He never imagines that the truth may tear them apartβ€”just as they dare to imagine a future together.
