The pride of Jared MacKade / Nora Roberts

Jared MacKade always fights for what's right. As a kid he was competitive, and that spirit has continued in his career as an attorney. So when a challenge arrives in the form of stubborn single mother Savannah Morningstar, Jared won't be deterred by her cool and defensive attitude - quite the opposite. Jared is drawn in by the strong woman, and though Savannah is prepared to keep her guard up, Jared knows what he wants. Not only is he interested in Savannah, he's grown to love her son too. The former bad boy has always longed for a family of his own, and now that he's found the one woman he wants to come home to, Jared is ready to shed his pride and take a chance on love.
