Anna Berzani moved halfway across the country to get away from her overprotective family. When old friend and notorious playboy Evan McKenzie shows up in San Francisco, Anna feels that same nothing-but-trouble attraction she'd felt at sixteen. A night on the town leads to a few kisses, which leads to...a nine-month countdown! Practical Anna suggests marriage, but the gorgeous bachelor turns her down flat. He's anything but good daddy material. Evan always felt like an adopted member of the boisterous Berzani clan. Getting involved with Anna--irresistible as she is--won't go over so well with his best friend, Anna's brother. And when the rest of the family find out he refuses to marry her, he won't just be disowned--he'll be dismembered! How can he marry her, though...when he knows marriage is nothing but heartache?
