Grumpy Lumberjack's Secret: A Small-Town Forced-Proximity Secret Baby Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255995981)

She's the sunshine kindergarten teacher.
He's the grumpy ex-Army lumberjack.
And the little girl holding her hand has HIS eyes.

Chloe Matthews swore she'd never come back to Pinewood Ridge. Not after what she did. Not after the man she left behind. But a bad marriage, an empty bank account, and a daughter who deserves better drag her home to the one town where everyone knows her name - and one man knows her by heart.
Sawyer Cole hasn't smiled in seven years. He runs the sawmill. He keeps to himself. He drinks his coffee black, builds furniture in his cabin at midnight, and tells anyone who asks that he gave up on love a long time ago.
Then he saves a little girl from being grabbed in a parking lot.
Then he looks down into her face.
Then he realizes he's been a father for five years and didn't know it.
Now this mountain man with calluses on his hands and grief in his chest is stocking the cabin with crayons. He's making pancakes shaped like dinosaurs. He's looking at Chloe like he's never letting her out of his sight again.
There's just one problem.
The dangerous man she ran from in the city just figured out where she's hiding.
And he wants what he thinks is his.

He has no idea what a grumpy lumberjack with a family to protect is capable of.
