Meggie is coming to stay!

Normally, architect Sam Solomon would be thrilled that his daughter, Meggie, is coming to live with him. But he's not happy with the circumstances. His ex–wife has suddenly become ill and is unable to take care of their daughter. On top of that, Sam has just started a huge restoration job that promises to eat up all his time.

Christy is so different from any woman he's ever met it's as if she's from a whole other world. A world he never would've known if it wasn't for the child who brought them together .

9 MONTHS LATER

Moonstruck?

Dr. Danni Goodlove would like to blame everything on the moon. If it hadn't been full that night, maybe the emergency room would have been quieter. Maybe one of the E.R. doctors would've had time to patch up fire fighter Matt Creed. Maybe Danni could have stayed in Labour and Delivery where she belonged instead of attending Matt's injuries and struggling to control her own heart rate.

She might be able to blame that night on the full moon. But how could she explain what happened next? Matt's showing up at her medical convention in the Caribbean. His crazy proposal, her equally crazy acceptance and an unusual marriage ceremony followed by her new husband's tender lovemaking.

And now, just a the doctor's regaining her senses, she's having a baby .
