Loving Mercy by Dena Christy

For six weeks, one night has haunted Alex Sullivan. Waking up in his bed alone the morning after sent a message loud and clear that the woman in question didn’t want a repeat. Which was too bad, because it was one of the most intense nights of his life. But now, he’s ready to move on. At least that was what he believed until she walked back into his life and dropped a bombshell.
Mercy Chambers has had the worst track record when it comes to men, and the night with Alex freaked her out so much that she ran away. And now she has to see him again because something happened that night that will tie them together for the rest of their lives. And she is surprised when he informs her that he intends to be a part of his baby’s life, and she starts to think that he might be different from the other men she’s known.
Alex wants to be a permanent part of his baby’s life, and in order to ensure that, he decides to woo his baby’s mama. He knows he has to be stealthy, to sneak up on her heart, because Mercy is a runner and the last thing he wants is for her to run from him again.
