"Just go away and forget you ever met me," Erica said in a low, intense voice.
"Can you forget me that easily?" Mike challenged her. He moved closer, gazing deeply into her eyes.
"We had fun together, but it's over now," she answered miserably. "As you can see . . . " she gestured toward little Nicky " I have a prior commitment."
"What does your son have to do with it?" Mike said. "Unless you also have a husband you haven't told me about . . . "
"She doesn't have one of those," four-year-old Nicky unexpectedly piped up. "My daddy went to heaven." He continued watching the two grown- ups with obvious fascination.
And Erica's nerves were so jangled, she could only gasp at the boy's next words.
"Would you," he asked Mike, "like to be my new daddy?"
Erica Barclay's goal was to keep her son, Nicky, safe from the people who threatened their small family. Nicky was her entire world, the very air she breathed. She certainly didn't have time for sexy strangers she stumbled over in the sand . . .
But kiss by tender kiss, seductive Mike Smith enchanted this hardworking single mom.
Then he captivated the spirited Nicky with images of a daddy, and a real family. To Erica, such thoughts were dangerous . . . but Mike would bet his heart that he could soon have her dreaming of happily-ever-after!
