The Family We Built Backward

By T. J. Kramer

He fell in love with her daughter before he knew she was his.

When ER nurse Anna Harlow returns to Cedar Grove Memorial nearly a year after walking away-from the hospital and from the man she loved-she brings with her a secret she should have told long ago.

Dr. Daniel Whitaker hasn't forgotten her. And Anna hasn't forgotten him.

As old chemistry turns into a second chance, Daniel slowly becomes part of Anna's new life. He learns bottles and bedtime routines. He falls hopelessly in love with baby Cora. And every ordinary, wonderful moment makes the truth Anna is hiding harder to tell.

Because Cora isn't simply part of Anna's new life.

She's Daniel's daughter.

When the truth finally comes out, love won't be enough. Daniel must decide whether he can trust the woman who took the pregnancy, the birth, and the first six months of fatherhood away from him-and Anna must finally learn that courage doesn't mean escaping before someone can leave.

Sometimes the hardest way to build a family is backward.
