Men on a Mission #2
Bachelor Father
SHUT OUT!
Tony Antonelli was a baseball superstar, but his exploits left Susan McCormick cold. She had known--and loved--the real Tony, the one who had broken her heart ten years before. Every day her son's black curls and flashing grin were a reminder of their shared night of fire and passion. Though Tony had whispered "forever," she'd never seen him again. He had never known his son.
Now Tony was back, and soon they discovered that they'd been victims of a terrible misunderstanding. Could two hearts so cruelly shattered ever mend and beat as one again?

About the author
Annette Broadrick
214 books42 followersAnnette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.
She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.
Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.
Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

I think I read this a long time ago since the hero's name rang a bell. I'll have to see if I can find it again to see if it is the book I'm thinking of.
