Sun, 17 Mar 2002 07:32:27 +0200

"No strings attached" doesn't apply to family.

Sam O'Neal's goal had been simple—keep his brother, Josh, alive long enough to die an old man with Jenny and their children at his side. Cancer had other plans. Jenny's a widow just hours after giving birth, and Josh died without getting to see or hold the babies he fought so hard to have. Will Sam's new role will be grieving uncle or surrogate father to Jenny's twins—Sam's biological babies? Josh knew better than anyone why Sam guards his heart with an iron fist. Surely, his brother's crazy arrangement wasn't supposed to be Sam's second shot at a family of his own.

Jenny Sullivan O'Neal's life was perfect...until it wasn't.

The people of Bullion call her "Jenny Perfect" for a reason. Eldest of the triplets that the town helped raise, Jenny is strong, kind, and reliable. Not the sort of person who would agree to use her brother-in-law as a sperm...
