Since then she's written everything from advertising copy to an honors thesis in paleontology, but becoming a Harlequin author is her proudest accomplishment yet. Lee and her family live in the Pacific Northwest. She invites you to visit her at www.leemckenzie.com.

AJ Harris needs to leave town, before his past sneaks up on him in the form of a tool-belt-wearing beauty who also happens to be the mother of his child. Fate has other plans when AJ inadvertently hires Samantha Elliott to renovate and sell his grandmother's old house. Now he has to hide the truth-he secretly adopted the child Sam abandoned three years ago.
Only, AJ can't prevent the bond between mother and child. When he learns the selfless reasons behind Sam's actions, including his own father's deceit, AJ's secret becomes a burden he can't keep. But will Sam forgive him for having their son all this time? Or will one little boy's love bring together a family...just in time for Christmas?
