The Paternity Test

Pamela Toth · 1998
59/100
👎 Skip It

This 1997 Silhouette Special Edition centers on Nick Kincaid and Cassie Wainright, brought together after a weekend retreat and now facing an unexpected twin pregnancy — along with the trust crisis that erupts when Nick demands a paternity test. Pamela Toth was a reliable category romance author, and the Silhouette Special Edition line was known for emotionally driven stories with moderate sensuality. The honest caveat is a significant one: this is a lightly documented title with almost no critical footprint beyond its original publication and a single customer review. Premarital sex is implied by the plot, which will concern faith-focused readers. For fans of compact, emotionally centered 1990s category romance built around trust and reconciliation, it fits the format comfortably — but go in knowing the information available is limited.
