“You know anything about kids?”

Daniel questioned eagerly. ‘Todd’s been crying for the last hour and I haven’t got a clue why.”

Rachel looked at Daniel. Goodness, his eyes were blue. “I had one that I managed to get through this stage without inadvertently killing him,” she admitted.

“You’re a godsend. Here, hold him for a minute,” he said, handing the baby to Rachel.

Rachel looked down in surprise. Her arm had tingled where Daniel had touched it. That kind of electrical-impulse-upon-contact sort of thing hadn’t happened to her since high school.

Suddenly the child stopped wailing and was staring fascinated at Rachel’s silken tresses.

“Thank you,” Daniel breathed. “You get me a couple of hours of peace and quiet and I’ll be your slave forever.”

Rachel laughed at that “Yeah, right.” But it was an interesting idea. A body like that, her slave?

My, oh, my.

When a sexy single man becomes an instant dad to a toddler, the independent divorcеe next door offers parenthood lessons—only to dream of marriage and motherhood all over again!

In Having Gabriel’s Baby by Kristin Morgan, our BUNDLES OF JOY book, a fleeting night of passion with a handsome, brooding rancher leaves Joelle in the family way—and the dad-to-be insisting on a marriage of convenience for the sake of the baby….

Years ago Julie had been too young for the dashing man of her dreams. Now he’s back in town, and Julie’s still hoping he’ll make her his bride in New Years Wife by Linda Vainer, part of her miniseries HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

What’s a man to do when he has no interest in marriage but is having trouble resisting the lovely, warm and wonderful woman in his life? Get those cold feet to the nearest wedding chapel in Family Addition by Rebecca Daniels.
