Worthy of Love
by Carly Phillips

Jaded cop Kevin Manning just lost his partner and blames himself, leading to a night of shared grief and explosive passion with the man’s grieving sister. Believing Nikki needs and deserves more than Kevin is capable of giving, he bails the next morning, leaving Nikki abandoned and alone.

Nikki Welles never dreamed losing her brother would send her into the arms of the man she’s always wanted, nor is she prepared when that one sexy night leads to a different future than she’d envisioned. Now, single and with a baby on the way Nikki is forced to come up with a new plan.

Then Kevin returns to town, and finds that everything has changed … It’s now time for him to prove himself worthy of Nikki and his unborn child, but even if he can put the past behind him and step up, will Nikki be able to forgive him for leaving her behind?

Originally published December 2000 as SOLITARY MAN, writing as Karen Drogin for Zebra Bouquet and September 2004 for Kensington and self published May 2011 and August 2014 in eBook, writing as Carly Phillips.
