The secret child

the long version

He'd been cheated out of fatherhood! Cole Ballinger had loved Marni Rodgers with all the passion of first love. Then she'd abandoned him for the bright lights of California, and he'd spent far too much time wondering why. Until he met Jenna, his daughter. The daughter Marni had kept secret for twelve years. Stunned, Cole was determined to make up for all the years he'd missed in Jenna's life. If Marni wasn't prepared to let him be a full-time father now, he'd sue for custody. He couldn't let her cheat him out of something so precious twice!
