Desperately Seeking Dad by Marta Perry

Anne Morden was a breath away from adopting Emilie, the child she had always longed for. All that was left to do was to convince police chief Mitch Donovan to sign away the rights to his daughter. But with his denial of paternity, Mitch put Anne's lifelong dream on hold. Yet Mitch seemed determined to make things right, if only Anne could trust him enough to let him help.

The Marine's Baby by Deb Kastner

The US Marine Corps made a man out of Nathan Morningway. But the orphaned baby girl left to him by his military buddy made him a father. With no training in parenthood, Nathan heads home—where he's not exactly warmly welcomed by his family. But day-care worker Jessica Sabin helps him learn how to be a dad. That seems to make Jessica happy, so why does she look so sad sometimes?

Marta Perry is a Pennsylvania-based author of over 35 novels, many of them inspirational romances. She uses her rural Pennsylvania life and her Pennsylvania Dutch heritage in writing her books, especially in her Pleasant Valley Amish series for Berkley Books and her new Amish-set suspense series for HQN Books.

Marta and her husband live in a centuries-old farmhouse in a quiet central Pennsylvania valley. They have three grown children and six beautiful grandchildren, and when she's not busy writing her next book, she's usually trying to keep up with her gardening, baking for church events, or visiting those beautiful grandkids.
