A Mother for Mollie

I remember reading this book years ago and I enjoy reading it very much. I enjoy this series of Beaufort Brides And I enjoy the characters and their story they are telling me.

Shelby needs to find a private investigator that will look for her father the she has not seen in over twenty years. No one else will take the case, or they want to much money. Finally, Shelby goes to see Patrick. She soon discovers Patrick is a single dad to Mollie and that his life is in chaos right now. Mollie has been kicked out of yet another daycare for being late and has gone through almost evey babysitter and housekeeper he can find. Mollie is a four year old spoiled child with no manners. Because of Mollie Patrick has no time to take Shelby's case.Shelby comes up with a plane to marry Patrick so that Mollie can use the daycare in her office building and live with them so that she can do the cooking and the cleaning. In return, Patrick has to look for her father. This plan is soon put into motion. The story is whether they become a family in the true sense of the word. Although the story of them becoming a family is sweet. The story of Shelby's missing father goes unanswered. Although, there are three books in this series, one before and one after this one. So, of course, if you want to find out what happens you will have to read the next book, which was the authors point, right?
