e wants the chance to know his daughter...

Anna Connor knows what kind of man Jake Rollins is.... he's the sexy cowboy kind who'll break you heart when he calls you up to tell you he's married someone else. And she knows because that's exactly what Jake did sixteen years ago, giving her no choice but to marry Jake's best friend. After all, her baby deserved a father, even if Jake was too irresponsible to fill the role.

Now Jake's back in Happy, Texas... demanding to know why Anna never told him just what he was leaving behind -- their daughter. How can she explain that she hadn't meant to hurt him? That she'd done what she thought best? Or that even after all these years (and even though she still loves him) she can't admit the truth.

Because doing so would only hurt their daughter....
