The Next Santini Bride
(When Angela Santini felt the power of First Sergeant Dan ...)
When Angela Santini felt the power of First Sergeant Dan Mahoney’s smoldering gaze, she dared to throw caution to the wind. It had been so long since she’d be held, kissed, touched. But how was this straitlaced single mom supposed to know that one fantasy-filled night of passion with this mesmerizing marine would never be enough? Dan Mahoney knew the pitfalls of getting too close to soft-hearted Angela Santini and her lonely son. But if the elusive bachelor was so set on a life of solitude, why couldn’t he just stay away? Was it because this Cassanova in uniform might actually be in love?

Everyone did Jefferson King's bidding. Except the folks in a certain Irish village he'd "bought" for his latest production. And when the movie mogul arrived in town, he discovered why everyone had turned against him. He'd gotten one of their own pregnant.
