Barefoot by the sea - Roxanne St. Claire

When you think you know your heart's desire . . .

Tessa Galloway
is a gifted nurturer-her verdant garden at Barefoot Bay's new resort is living
proof. If only the woman who can grow anything could grow what she wants most: a
baby. Her friends think the right guy will come along, but Tessa doesn't want to
wait. All she needs is the perfect donor to make her dream come true. Then John
Brown is hired at the resort. If anyone could make beautiful babies, it's this
gorgeous, mysterious man. So why does Tessa suddenly find herself wanting so
much more?

Can you give up all your dreams for love?

It's
been three long years since John Brown had to leave his old life. Forced into
the witness protection program, he's desperate to be reunited with his toddler
twins. When he gets that chance, there's a catch-he must prove he's got a steady
job and a new wife. Landing a gig as a chef in Barefoot Bay is easy enough. And
falling for lovely Tessa is even easier. The hard part? Can he win the heart of
a woman who prizes honesty-when the truth may shatter it?
