Destiny's Child

the long version

Dakota didn't claim to understand men. But she did know that Patrick Devane was stubborn and angry and that he refused to let anyone, including his young daughter, get close. Dakota also knew she had no choice but to accept his reluctant hospitality. And he her bold, audacious company. No woman had ever challenged Patrick so brazenly—while no man had ever seemed so daring and dangerous to Dakota. And no little girl had ever seemed so in need of a family. Now only time would tell if their destiny lay with each other.
