Pat has lived in upstate New York, Northern Alabama, Southern California, and Stockholm (Sweden), and since 1969, in Houston, Texas with her husband. She says that no matter where she’s lived, she’s found that people everywhere are the same and want the same things: love and committed relationships. The marriage has three terrific grown children. They currently share their home with two longhaired cats, and a backyard filled with squirrels, birds, and other critters. Her hobbies and other interests include reading, walking for exercise, going to the movies and the theater, swimming, and traveling. In 1990, Pat sold her first romance novel to Silhouette. Since then, more than four million copies of her novels have been published in eighteen different countries. Today, Patricia Kay, alias Ann Patrick and Trisha Alexander, is an USA Today bestselling author of 50 novels of romance and women's fiction.

But when she discovers that she is not Kendall's biological mother--that she was given the wrong child at the hospital so long ago--Abbie is filled with longing to find her real daughter, to see shades of herself reflected in her child's eyes. Her search leads her to Logan O'Connell. A widower raising his children alone, Logan is hopelessly devoted to his fragile daughter, Erin--and doesn't want to believe she's not really his.
