“Will you be my dad?”
Ask me anything but that.
Once upon a time, Dr. Daniel Delaney had it all. But he lost it in the blink of an eye, and he won’t let himself fall again—not even for his dedicated new assistant, Keela O’Mara, and her adorable, lonely little girl, Anna. Resisting a starry-eyed four-year-old is tough enough. Denying her perfect, loving single mom may be more than Daniel can handle…
“Will you be my dad?”
Ask me anything but that.
Once upon a time, Dr. Daniel Delaney had it all. But he lost it in the blink of an eye, and he won’t let himself fall again—not even for his dedicated new assistant, Keela O’Mara, and her adorable, lonely little girl, Anna. Resisting a starry-eyed four-year-old is tough enough. Denying her perfect, loving single mom may be more than Daniel can handle…
EXCERPT:
Keela had never seen her daughter smile so much.
Every time she watched “Doctor Dan” with Anna, Keela’s heart warmed and her thoughts wandered to a secret and special place.
Suddenly, he got serious and turned to Anna. “Maybe it’s time you dropped the doctor part and just call me Dan?” He glanced at Keela, as if to get her approval about letting Anna call him that. She nodded.
Hugging the stuffed otter Daniel had bought her at the aquarium, Anna grinned. “I’m going to name him Dan.”
“Wow, you’re naming a toy after me? I’ve finally arrived.”
Anna hugged Daniel. The real one. “Because I love you.”
The room went momentarily silent. Stunned into silence was more like it. Keela could see Daniel struggling with how to respond to such a spontaneous declaration. Where she wasn’t ready to say the word, her daughter fearlessly exclaimed it. Love! Clearly it rattled him—it rattled her, too—and he wasn’t sure what to say or do.
After a pause, with a serious and kind expression on his face, Daniel reached for Anna’s shoulder. “You know what, Anna-bug, I love you, too.”
