Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
It's a shock to private investigator Mike Callahan to see Shayla O'Hare again, and with a child in tow--especially with shots flying her way. Protecting the pair must take priority over their tangled past. Is she being targeted for her family's crimes--including possibly killing Mike's father? And what will Mike do when he realizes her son is actually his son, too?


My Review:
Protecting His Secret Son is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the sixth in a series, but you can understand this book without reading the previous ones.

The romantic pair have a past: they slept together once, got engaged, then Mike accused her family of being involved with the people who killed his father. She left and didn't try too hard to let him know that she was pregnant with his son. Now she's back to visit her father, and someone starts shooting at her. Mike protects her while trying to figure out who is behind his father's death and why they're after Shayla. The secret comes out that he's the father of her son. He wants to be involved in his son's life, but she's still not feeling too cozy toward a man whom she thinks still believes her father and brother are corrupt. I liked the characters, and the Callahan brother finally solve their father's murder.

Both characters prayed to God for protection. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this suspenseful novel.
