“Judy really has a way with Western romances and handsome cowboys!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller He’d always been a loner—until one case changed his life. . . Growing up in a broken home had made Detective Adam Santiago wary of getting attached—to anyone. Even his work as a mentor at the local youth center leaves him certain that he’s not meant to be a family man . . . Until he meets the new music therapist at Kidville. Julie Chapman knows Adam is the last person on earth she should be drawn to. She’s the marrying type, and he’s intent on avoiding commitment at all costs! When two orphans are at risk of being separated, Adam must set aside his insecurities to keep the young brother and sister together. Julie’s willing to do anything to help — even become Adam’s pretend bride — to get the children’s traditional social worker on their side. But as she falls head over heels for her the guarded cop, will this marriage of convenience become an affair of the heart? From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles.
