The Doctor's Baby Secret

Scarlet Wilson

Expecting the astronaut's baby! Dr. Corrine Carter's job as medical adviser heats up when daredevil Austin Mitchell joins the astronaut training program. And it's soon clear their chemistry is hotter than a Texas summer! For all his cheeky self-confidence, gorgeous Austin makes this relationship-shy doctor feel out of this world. So when their sizzling fling has an unexpected consequence, does Corrine dare to dream of a home and a future with her star-bound pilot?

When that broad frame had walked back into her office the other day she’d felt a familiar ache. The one that would be there whether she was pregnant or not.

This was a guy she’d connected with. This was a guy who could make her burst with happiness one second and have her spitting feathers the next.

He was hot. But he was so much more than hot. She felt safe around him. She felt special. She loved the little twinkle in his bright blue eyes that he seemed to save just for her.

The connection felt real. The connection felt so real. And it was the one she’d been waiting for. The one that other people in love had told her would happen one day.

And now it had. In a set of circumstances she couldn’t have imagined.

Why couldn’t her special guy be someone ordinary … someone normal? Not some hotshot pilot who constantly tried to conquer the world. Not some guy with career ambitions that could leave you breathless.

She banged her head back against the wall. But that was all part of Austin. All part of the guy who had stolen her heart. The guy she’d fallen in love with.

Dear Reader (#ulink_258ca960-9c80-5d1d-894f-e2439ff5b6d6),

This year I had the joy and pleasure of taking my children to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I don’t know who was more excited—me or them.

I loved it. I loved everything about it. We even had the pleasure of meeting a real-life astronaut, Don Thomas, a veteran of four space flights and a man who has spent forty-four days in space. He was gracious, interesting, and he answered all my kids’ questions. How could I not write about a hero who was an astronaut?

There’s something spectacular about this kind of hero. It was great fun having him figure out if his heart lay in the stars or on earth.

My ambition for this book was to get the words ‘space baby’ in the title. I didn’t quite get my way. Maybe next time. I’m sure I have another astronaut hero I can use …

I love to hear from readers. Please feel free to contact me at scarlet-wilson.com.

Love,

Scarlet Wilson
