The Deputy's Unexpected Family
by Patricia Johns

In this inspirational romance, a single mom raising her friend's daughter confronts the child's father---only to fall in love with the bachelor lawman.

Returning home has stirred painful memories for officer Gabe Banks. But responding to a robbery at Harper Kemp's bridal shop has upended his world. Harper's adopted four-year-old is the daughter he never knew existed. Gabe's no longer the bad boy Harper remembers, but he's still terrified of commitment. Despite their fierce attraction, Harper must protect her little girl's heart... and her own.

Patricia Johns' Bio

I’m a Publishers Weekly bestselling author of sweet romance. You’ll normally find me hunched over my computer, hammering out my newest story. I live with my husband and son in Alberta, Canada, where the winters are long and cold, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When I’m not writing, I’m normally whipping up delicious gluten-free meals for my family, baking, knitting, or obsessing over dollhouse miniatures that have become a real passion of mine.
