SummaryNobody's Baby But Mine (originally
published in February 1997)
The Plan
Genius physics professor Dr. Jane Darlington desperately
wants a baby. But finding a father won't be easy. Jane's
super-intelligence made her feel like a freak when she was
growing up, and she's determined to spare her own child that
suffering. Which means she must find someone very special to
father her child. Someone very...well...stupid.
The Target
Cal Bonner, the Chicago Stars legendary quarterback, seems
like the perfect choice. But his champion good looks and
down-home ways are deceiving. Dr. Jane learns too late that
this good ol' boy is a lot smarter than he lets on—and
he's not about to be used and abandoned by a brainy,
baby-mad schemer.
The Explosion
A brilliant, lonely woman who dreams only of
motherhood... A take-no-prisoners tough guy who'll settle
for nothing less than surrender... Can passion and physical
attraction propel two strong-willed yet vulnerable people to
a totally unexpected love?
This Heart of Mine (originally published in
hardcover, February 2002)
Molly Somerville loves her career as the creator of the
Daphne the Bunny children's book series, but the rest of her
life could use some improvement. She has a reputation for
trouble that started even before she gave away her
fifteen-million-dollar inheritance. Then there's her
long-term crush on the quarterback for the Chicago Stars
football team her sister owns—that awful, gorgeous
Kevin Tucker, a man who can't even remember Molly's name!
One night Kevin barges into Molly's not-quite-perfect life
and turns it upside down. Unfortunately, the Ferrari-driving
riving, poodle-hating jock isn't as shallow as she wishes he
were, and she soon finds herself at a place called Wind
Lake. Surrounded by paintbox cottages, including a charming
old bed-and-breakfast, Molly and Kevin battle their
attraction and each other as they face one of life's most
important lessons. Sometimes love hurts, sometimes it makes
you mad as hell, and sometimes—if you're lucky—it
can heal in a most unexpected way.
