  New York Times _bestselling author Susan Mallery’s beloved story about how the
  hardest mistakes can sometimes lead to the best surprises…_
  
  
  From the moment a baseball smashes through his window, banker Adam
  Barrington’s life is never quite the same. The guilty party, an eight-year-old
  tomboy, soon turns his household upside down. But that shock is nothing
  compared to when Adam discovers who Billie’s mother is…
  
  
  Jane Southwick knows that coming back home won’t be easy, and that living next
  door to Adam again will be sweet torture. But it’s pure joy to see the
  delightful bond growing between him and her daughter—despite the guilty secret
  that clutches at Jane’s heart.
