Due Dates

A college softball star with Olympic dreams finds herself pregnant and abandoned — then inherits a family she never knew, a dangerous mystery, and a man she never expected to love.

Summary

Due Dates is Book #1 in the Scandals New Adult romantic suspense series by Kathy Clark.

Killeen Ames has it all — beauty, brains, a college softball scholarship, and a rich and handsome boyfriend who has helped fill her social calendar. He is the only boy she ever allowed past second base, and now he's her baby daddy. But fatherhood wasn't in his plans, so he graduates and disappears, leaving Killeen to figure out what to do about the pregnancy — and how to keep her scholarship. 

With no job, no marketable skills, no home, and medical bills on the horizon, a knock at the door changes everything. An attorney arrives with news of an inheritance from an unknown deceased relative — bringing an entirely new due date of a different kind. 

She travels to Texas to claim her inheritance and discovers she has four half-siblings — all children of Roger Elliott, a famous musician. To receive their share, the siblings must work together at their late father's company alongside his partner, Christopher, an irresistibly attractive man who complicates Killeen's already complicated life. 

But someone wants them all dead. When a trap they set goes terribly wrong, Killeen is suddenly forced to make an impossible choice — who does she save: her baby, Christopher, or her new brothers and sisters?

The series follows each of Roger Elliott's offspring across subsequent books, with Killer Date (Book #2) focusing on sibling Reno's story.
