Because Of The Baby

Marriage…because of the baby

Friendship has boundaries…doesn't it?

Melissa Lopez is a doctor at the medical clinic Kyle Davenport runs. They work together, spend off-hours having fun together–they're friends.

It was never supposed to happen, but one hot summer night they give in to the secret attraction they feel for each other–and Melissa becomes pregnant with Kyle's child.

They want to give their baby the best life possible. Which means two full-time parents. They're not in love, though, so maybe a wedding, shotgun-style, is the solution. Romance won't figure in the bargain–just mutual support, respect and convenience.

Soon their safe, tidy arrangement is less than satisfying. But they can have more–if they're willing to face old fears. If they're willing to risk real commitment. Their own happiness depends on it. More important, they need to take the chance…because of the baby.

About the author

Anne Haven decided to be a writer when she was ten. She began with short stories and attempted her first novel a couple of years later. Although that manuscript remains unpublished, she did keep at it and sold her first book in her midtwenties. Before her daughter's birth, Anne's hobbies were gardening, yoga, watching X-Files and eating ice cream. Now she only has time for ice cream.
