Once Upon A Wedding

Description for ONCE UPON A WEDDING by Paula Detmer Riggs: A CHILD IS WAITING A terrible accident had left lawyer Jess Dante scarred forever, in body and soul -- and determined never again to let anyone get close to him. And yet a needy, newborn little girl had somehow found her way into his embittered heart.... The only future he could offer was to adopt her, and for that he needed a wife. It wasn't easy, but he managed to persuade a friend and colleague, psychologist Hazel O'Connor, to marry him -- in name only. The trouble was, a make-believe marriage with this woman -- so familiar, yet suddenly so very new -- was enough to make a man dream of the real thing....
