The Family He Didn't Expect. Shirley Jump

      

      He’s only in town for a short visit—

      Unless a single mom can convince him to stay?

      Dylan Millwright’s bittersweet homecoming gets a whole lot sweeter when the former bad boy meets Abby Cooper. But the gorgeous hard-working mother of two is all about “the ties that bind,” and Dylan isn’t looking for strings to keep him down. Until he starts connecting with Abby’s troubled teenage son—and becomes a substitute daddy to her younger boy, too! Do this bachelor’s wandering ways conceal the secretly yearning heart of a family man?
