HER SISTER'S SECRET SON, Silhouette Special Editions, June 2001 ISBN 0-373-24403-7

AN ACCIDENTAL BRIDE?

Though she'd spent a lifetime in her flamboyant twin's shadow, Rachel Hale adored selflessly, single-handedly raising her late sister's son. But with no time for dating, Rachel couldn't give her beloved nephew the daddy he deserved. Until a granite-eyed man from Maine discovered little Dylan was his...

Strong, honorable and stubborn, Jared Carlisle would stop at nothing to claim his kin. Still, knowing how much a boy needed a mother, he proposed making Rachel his bride. In a twinkling, Rachel was sharing a home and a family with Jared. But would she - or only Dylan and her twin - ever share Jared's love?
