His Baby Surprise

DR.…DADDY? Tyler Braden was shocked that his first maternity patient in a rural Smoky Mountain clinic was the one-night stand he could never forget. And stunned to discover that her baby was his. Almost ten months ago he and Lexi Hatfield had made slow, sweet love one long, lonely night back in Chicago. A big-city doctor with big-time aspirations, Ty never planned on a son…or a wife. Why, then, did he fantasize about snuggling under the patchwork quilt with Lexi and enjoying a lifetime of country lovin'?

Okay, Evangeline Holly! You. Can. Do. This. Put that bad breakup behind you. And stop obsessing over the subsequent superhot one-night stand. Focus on your future. It’s the first day of your new job! Just ignore the fact that your boss, Ryan Wilde, was your former one-night lover. (He’s so hot!) Oh, and—surprise!—you’re pregnant with Ryan’s baby. And your job hinges on keeping it secret. You’ve got this! Right?

In labor, Lexi is taken the local clinic, where she is shocked to meet the doctor on call. What is Tyler Braden doing here? Not so long ago, after she was fired from her job and, careworn and sad, ran into him outside their apartment building. They spent the night together, but when they woke up in the morning, he declared that he had no desire for a partner, a wife or a child in his life. But now Tyler is delivering his own child! She thinks there is no way he could know the child is his, but then he tries to take the baby away from her!

He’s a bad-boy quarterback in need of an image overhaul. Having a baby with his PR advisor wasn’t part of the plan! I’m an all-star. A football hero. A household name. But my reputation precedes me. After one too many drinks and one-night-stands, the public sees me as a bad boy. Reckless. And my sponsors don’t like it one bit. I’m one scandal away from being off the team. And now, the kicker. A sex tape that’s gone viral. I did what anyone would do and hired a PR pro; A hot, sassy spin doctor who’s amazing at what she does. How the hell could I resist her? Only now I’ve got a problem. She’s pregnant. And the kid is mine.

There’s a fine line between lust and hate. I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem. His mouth is. And the stupid things that come out of it. But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his damnedest to take care of me… Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on. And it doesn’t involve talking. I’ve despised Drew since I met him years ago. One weekend can’t change us that much, can it? Spoiler alert: It doesn’t. Except he left me a little keepsake. And in nine months, I’ll have a surprise for Portland’s most notorious player.

Their royal bundle of joy! Two months after her breathtaking night with Prince Enzo Affini, nurse Aubrey Henderson arrives in Venice to discover he's her new boss. And even more shocking? The news she's carrying his royal baby! Guarded doctor Enzo has long protected his legacy—and his heart. He's determined not to trust his attraction to irresistible, spirited Aubrey. But as their baby grows, so, too, does their undeniable connection…and a longing for a happy-ever-after that neither can deny!

An injury takes professional hockey player Brooks Hoover off the ice and back to his Michigan hometown to recuperate and map out his future… which wasn't supposed to include fatherhood! It isn't every day a man finds a baby on his doorstep. A baby who just might be his. And that's not his only surprise…. In high school, Priscilla Andrews was a prim and proper sort of girl, but now she's all grown up—definitely his type of woman. She's also Brooks's new boss! Between coaching the high school hockey team, caring for an abandoned infant and sharing domestic duties with the alluring assistant principal, Brooks is starting to think he's more of a family-man type than a big-time sports star. But is a man who's used to the limelight ready to settle down?
