Heaven Sent
by Judi McCoy

As a cop, Nathan Baxter is sworn to protect and serve, but none of his training could help him save his wife's life. Now, the sey widower has his hands full raising his adorable five-year-old daughter, Phoebe, and keeping his meddling mother—she of the yoga classes in full makeup and mink—from constantly searching for the next Mrs. Nathan Baxter. If there's anything the handsome detective doesn't need, it's opening himself and his daughter up to heartbreak again.

But Phoebe's new kindergarten teacher seems to have other ideas, asking the child all sorts of questions about her life—and her father. Nathan intends to set things straight, but meeting with the attractive, free-spirited Miss Starr leaves him anything but settled. There's something strange and compelling about the woman—like a fist out of water—that makes him both suspicious and smitten...and the closer he gets, the more he realizes she's not like any woman he's ever known before...
