Desperately Seeking Dad by Marta Perry

Philadelphia lawyer Anne Morden was a breath away from adopting Emilie, the child she had always longed for. All that was left to do now was to convince police chief Mitch Donovan to sign away rights to his precious daughter. But with his denial of paternity, Mitch put baby Emilie's future at stake, and Anne's lifelong dream on hold. Yet Mitch seemed determined to make things right, if only Anne could trust him enought to let him help.

This is the first book in the Hometown heroes series. Three close friends in high school went on one final adventure together. They never realized the adventure would soon turn into a life-threatening event that would change them all forever and create an unbreakable bond to each other. One of these men was Mitch. And this is his story.

What should a Chief of Police do if a strange woman with a baby came into his office and declared he was the biological father of her baby? Well, that's exactly what happens in this story. Because of a paternity question, there is a small mystery to solve in this book. It's completely predictable. I knew how it was going to end, yet I still enjoying watching the couple struggle to figure it all out...The ending of the story leaves a twist between the biological father's and the adopted father's relationship to the child, which I found very interesting...
