A Dad for Billie

Book excerpt: 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.
