When Victoria Hamilton's 'no strings, no last names' holiday fling resulted in a baby she knew she had to begin a new life far from her family.
Now her father has been murdered, her half brother, Jared, is the prime suspect and Victoria has no choice but to return to Colorado Springs with her small daughter. She'll do anything to prove Jared's innocence, but opening the door to her hired private investigator and coming face-to-face with John 'Rocket' Miglionni - and her past - isn't what she had in mind.
The rugged former marine is thrilled at first to find the woman who rocked his world six years ago. But then he takes one look at the little girl with 'his' dark eyes, and her mother's panicked expression - and gets the shock of his life. In one fell swoop he's found the woman who haunts his dreams and discovered he's a father.
Tough as they come, John now has two females holding a big piece of his heart, along with troubled teenager Jared, who expects the worst from all the adult males in his life. But John also has a second chance to make it right for all of them . . .
