Whew, and pass me an ice cold towel because the prologue of The Wedding Secret by Jeannie Moon is hot, steamy, and tantalizing. As a result, I was immediately drawn into the lives of successful business woman Harper Poole and professional baseball player Kevin Rossi. Their attraction is amazing and as a consequence of their loving tryst during Kevin's sister's wedding, Harper is pregnant. Nine months later, her beautiful daughter Anna is born.Unfortunately, Kevin has no idea that he created a life. Although Harper's friends and family know about Anna, they also have no idea that Kevin is the father. Harper and Kevin kept their brief affair private, so no one even knew they were seeing each other. Since Harper has worked for Kevin's brother-in-law for a number of years, overtime, Kevin's family basically adopted Harper into their lives.  In addition, with Kevin returning to town to play for the Mets, Harper has no choice but to tell him about Anna, since they keep running into each other.The story progresses with Kevin's reaction to Anna as well as Harper's lies. Both are in turmoil, adjusting to each other and joint parenthood, while realizing that their feelings from a year ago are still alive and well.I liked this book, in fact, the entire series is very good.  Ms. Moon is a talented storyteller and her characters are well-defined, likeable and real. I enjoyed how the details of Harper's personal life unraveled and how her estranged mother finally came to her terms with her lack of mothering, while Harper was growing up. I found Kevin to be a little whiny and I loved his mother, she is a true ball-buster. Overall, a fast-paced, enjoyable read.
