    Her labor had been so much easier and faster this time, with the pain overwhelming her only toward the very end. But then her mother and Reece had been there to help her through it, together with the midwife and Reece’s sister Melanie, who’d become a good friend.

    Reece, whose love had sustained her through the last excruciating hour, had been the one to catch Caitlyn. With the guidance of the midwife, he’d eased their daughter from Kara’s body. Then he’d looked up at Kara through eyes filled with tears, a look of amazement on his face. “It’s a girl!

    Honey, when you’ve got an eight-pound object coming out of your cooter, the last thing you’re going to care about is how it looks,” had been Tessa’s reply.

Quick quotes

    Great story-telling and a well-written book. I enjoyed the presentation of investigative journalism being of high integrity and when so, fraught with danger.

    About as perfect a couple as there is in romance. I often find the hero to be implausible or impossible to compete with being a ‘real’ man and not a made-up man, but Reece was everything I believe a romance hero should be.

    She is an outstanding writer. And she provided hope that more investigative journalists have that type of integrity and use fact-based, proven research, instead of just chasing the most sensationalist stories and gossip.
