Beginnings
ABBY'S SECRET

When Abby Monroe first caught sight of Matt Gardner snooping around the dolphin tanks, she thought he was a handsome, wayward tourist. She couldn't deny her attraction to the commanding man with honey-brown hair, a man who acted as if he owned the amusement park where she trained the dolphins. But Abby had recently decided to change her life forever...and a man like Matt Gardner didn't figure into her plan. It was a closely guarded secret, but Abby Monroe was planning to have a child of her very own. And no one was going to stop her now.

They called him the "Hatchet Man," but corporate troubleshooter Matt Gardner didn't care what employees thought of him, as long as he was able to sort out the problems plaguing their company. And from the peeling paint and disgruntled workers, it was clear that this amusement park was in trouble.

The only bright spot in the park was the marine amphitheater, where a strong-willed blonde sparkled as she wooed the dolphins. With her dove-gray eyes and soft, kissable lips; Abby Monroe could easily distract Matt from the task at hand ... and that was one chance he couldn't afford to take.
