Nathan Barclay and his wife Colleen had two failed in vitro attempts before a donor gave the eggs they needed to finally conceive. When his wife and baby died in childbirth, Nathan has cosseted his surviving son, Kyle. Born at twenty-six weeks, he was a tiny boy and when he developed asthma, Nathan was even more protective. Were it not for his father’s interference, he would smother the child, he is so afraid of anything bad happening to him. Now along comes the lovely and tragic Sara Hobart claiming she only wants to meet the child then she will go away forever. How can he be sure that is all she wants? Why does she invoke feelings in him? How can he keep Colleen’s memory alive when Sara seems to occupy his thoughts?

The chemistry between the couple has to move past the anger stage of Nathan but once it does, it is unmistakable how these two individuals are drawn to each other.

The journey to falling in love is an emotional one but one well worth the trouble. For a good solid story about home and family, you can’t go wrong with THE DADDY DILEMMA by Karen Rose Smith.
