OPERATION: Daddy Boot Camp

SUBJECT: Three–year–old Blue, the daughter whom until three days ago U.S. Marine Curt Blackwell didn't know existed.

MISSION: Fatherhood. Bedtime stories. Plaiting hair. Holding hands.

COMPLICATIONS: Preschool teacher Jessie Moore. They had a past, but Curt avoided those waters. Unlike Blue's fear of monsters under the bed, a woman's emotions truly spelled danger. And he was growing defenceless against this woman's warmth and beauty.

MISSION SUCCESS: Uncertain. Curt would survive but not necessarily with his heart intact!
