Dear Reader,
Who can resist a baby? I know I can’t. The event is miraculous. Besides bringing joy to a parent’s life, the mere knowledge that a baby is on the way changes the mother’s and father’s worlds, not to mention those of the other family members.
A baby is born into every circumstance you can think of, and maybe some you can’t! Take for example an old Western film I watched about a group of willing women being taken across the plains to meet men who wanted to get married. On the way, one of them gave birth in the covered wagon and died. When they reached their destination, another woman had fallen in love with it and claimed it for her own. The stranger husband had to take the baby, too! That’s an instant family.
The story lived with me until one day I had to write Adopted Baby, Convenient Wife. In this novel an instant family is created because of one adorable, innocent baby two strangers fall in love with and can’t give up. The circumstances are entirely different from the Western story, but one thing is clear: the love of a child supersedes all other considerations and can create a new miracle.
I’m delighted to be paired with the incomparable Lucy Gordon in this book And Baby Makes Three. I’ve been a fan of hers for years and deem it an honor to have a book coming out with hers. It’s my hope both our stories about these precious babies will give you a few hours of pure reading pleasure.
Enjoy!
