title: Duplicate Daughter
author:  Alice Sharpe 
description: I was born in Sacramento, California where I launched my writing career by "publishing" a family newspaper. Circulation was dismal. After school, I married the love of my life. We spent years juggling children and pets while living on sailboats. All the while, I read like a crazy woman (devoured Agatha Christie) and wrote stories of my own, eventually selling to magazines and then book publishers. Now, 45 novels later, I'm concentrating on romantic suspense where my true interest lies.<br /><br /><b <="" p="">

zlib_text: Garrett could almost feel his daughter’s arms
  wrapped around his own neck.
  He watched as Annie put her down. The image of his little girl waving
  goodbye as the door closed burned itself into his head.
  When he met Annie back at her house, the first thing out of her mouth
  was, “Your Megan is absolutely adorable. She’s just wonderful.”
  “How was she?” he asked. “I mean, did she seem…happy?”
  “She seemed good, Garrett. Happy, affectionate.”
  He nodded, looking over her shoulder, swallowing the sudden lump in his
  throat. Annie touched his chin and he met her gaze. “She squealed and
  hugged herself when she thought of you,” she added.
  He smiled slowly, a bittersweet, tear-at-the-heart kind of smile. He had a
  lot to make up to his little girl. How had every good intention he had turned
  out to be wrong?
  He had to get Megan back. There was absolutely no other option.
