| Plot Summary of Makeshift Family |
|---|
"The last thing Nick Hunter expected when he arrived at his remote cabin in the Adirondack Mountains was to be knocked out cold by a gorgeous, emerald-eyed woman. When he wakes to find out they are marooned there with one-year-old twins, he wishes he'd pass out again. Despite his desire to escape the civilized world, he finds himself an instant caretaker, an instant father.
Lani Cabot knows the situation is only temporary, but she is drawn to the enigmatic Nick, who has secluded himself in this wilderness, obviously trying to escape from a secret in his past. For a wonderful, brief time, she has a makeshift family - a family she could otherwise never have.
