    About this ebook

    "YOUR DAUGHTER IS NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL CHILD."

    Detective Mitch Halloran's words were enough to shatter a single mom's world. And as much as Stef Shelton wanted to fight his accusation and disprove his claim, the quest to locate her missing child proved as irresistible as the allure of Mitch's blond good looks. Wasn't he the last man she should trust? His investigation had destroyed the family she'd worked so hard to create. But now, in spite of her fears, she'd accepted his assistance in the search for her daughter. Did she dare submit to the beguiling comfort of his embrace?

    Joyce Sullivan

    Writing romantic suspense is no mystery for Harlequin Intrigue author Joyce Sullivan. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and worked as a private investigator in British Columbia before trying her hand at freelance journalism and writing romance. Eight years and three manuscripts later, she made her first sale to Harlequin Intrigue in February 1995. She recently completed her fifth book for Intrigue. Joyce loves the tight pacing and emotional roller coaster of passion and danger that embody Intrigues. Her favorite pastime is observing personality traits and often-overlooked details about everyday life that make unique clues in her stories. Her friends and family earn her undying appreciation when they share interesting newspaper clippings or stories about crimes "they've heard about." Diligent research forms the plot of all her books before her fingers ever touch the keyboard to begin Chapter One. Her daily morning chore is clearing her desk of the piles of notes and clippings she harvests from the media (newspapers, magazines, talk shows) to be sorted into her ever-growing files on all topics criminal. A native Californian, Joyce immigrated to Canada for love. She met her handsome, French-Canadian husband in a disco near the University of Montreal in the summer of 1981. After a long-distance relationship, where they both struggled to learn each other's maternal language, they married in 1983. They have two children and make their home in Aylmer, Quebec.

      (I read this in the British version which is titled "Operation Cradle".)I think that this book must be one of a series, although the edition which I read didn't make that explicit, because I did get the feeling that I was missing out on some back story. This didn't destroy the plot for me but I did think that there should have been a bit more detail in a few places.Mitch is sent to break it to Stef that the child she has been bringing up from birth is not her child but has been swapped at birth with the child of a very rich family who has now been kidnapped. It is quite a clever storyline although it is all wrapped up in a very predictable way. I did find it more than a bit difficult to believe that any legal system would remove a child from the parent with whom it grew up to return it to a biological parent without some access or joint custody arrangement being made - it was a fine threat for the plot but reality would have been much more complicated.This is instant gratification reading - whilst the book is in front of you it occupies the mind but there is nothing to remember when you turn away. Nothing remarkable and rather shallow - there are many better light romances.

      Stef, a single mother, discovered after 2-1/2 years that her daughter had been switched at birth with an heiress of millions.
