I thought I could rescue him from a life of crime. But the bad boy biker didn't want anything I had to offer. Instead, he wanted to give me something of his own: The baby I'm carrying in my belly. It was my job to talk him out of his way of life. But Rust was playing me all along. He didn't want my help. He just wanted my body. Now, he's dragging me into an underworld that I'll never survive. But I can't say no to him. His touch, his scent, his power… It's all too much to resist. I'm a good girl librarian, not a rebel biker chick. But when I'm on the back of Rust's bike, I feel like the whole world is ours. I'll be whoever he wants me to be. His ride or die. His old lady. And the mother of his children. At least, until his enemies come for me and our baby.

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.

Unplanned pregnancies happen to women in every season of life: the newly married, the never-married, the empty-nester, the teenager, the overworked mother, the career woman. Yet we rarely talk about how lonely and confusing this experience can be. In Surprise Child, Leslie Leyland Fields, who experienced two unplanned pregnancies in her forties, lyrically weaves her own story with the stories of other women who understand the isolation you face as expectations and plans are turned upside down to make room for a child. “Each year, more than three million women discover themselves pregnant–at a hard time, the wrong time, at a difficult place in their lives. I am one of those women.…” Together, these women walk with you month-by-month through the physical and emotional stages of pregnancy, voicing with startling honesty their own anxieties and struggles. Here you will find the companionship and hope you need to journey toward new life.

I never thought of myself as dad material. Until my one-night stand showed up in my small Alaskan town five months pregnant. But I don’t shy away from responsibility. First, because I’m a Greene and not to boast but we’re kind of a big deal in Sunrise Bay. Second, I’m the Sheriff. I couldn’t have predicted how protective I’d become for the safety of her and my unborn baby to the point of asking her to move in with me and be my roommate. Just when I think I have the situation under control, another surprise knocks me over, but it only spurs me to double down. I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t think it through. Somewhere between the dinners, the TV show binging, the doctor appointments, and me walking in on her naked, lines blurred. In what feels like warp speed, my bachelor for life status is in jeopardy and I’m fighting for the most important thing of all—my family.

Baby, it's cold out. Nine months ago, I hooked up with the funniest, hottest, most amazing woman. It was supposed to be a vacation fling. She'd broken up with her ex. I don't do commitment. I was totally cool with "what happens in the skiing lodge, stays in the skiing lodge." And damn, did a lot happen. All over the place. In all kinds of positions. Over and over again. I was stupid to agree to her rules. Stupid to let her go. Then I see her walking down the fairy-lit street, a couple of weeks before Christmas. Our eyes meet and the chemistry is still hot enough to melt snow. She's even more gorgeous than I remember. She's radiant. I've got a bulge bigger than Santa's package, and all I want for Christmas this year... Is her. I'm not letting her go again. So what if she doesn't believe in love? So what if I've never "done" commitment. One look into those big blue eyes and I know she wants me too. We end up in the ER on Christmas Eve along with a few dozen drunks. But I'm sober as a judge when the doctor tells me, "She's in labor." ***This twist on the Secret Baby trope is an emotionally sweet, occasionally steamy debut novel with no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. It includes mature situations and is perfect for romance-loving adults. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!***
