      “I meant what I said about getting married.”

      For a moment Leah resisted Will’s attempt to pull her toward him. But because she loved the tenderness with which he gathered her to his chest, she yielded.

      She enjoyed the slight roughness of his throat and the way his cheek pressed against her hair. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing that he’d be visiting their child.

      Impulsively, she stole a kiss. As his mouth moved against hers, a kind of enchantment flowed through Leah.

      It took all her reserve to pull away. “Bad idea,” she said hoarsely.

      “Not all that bad,” Will murmured.

      Her mystery man from Texas was in her house. He’d kissed her again. He’d asked her to marry him.

      She wondered how on earth they were going to work this out. One thing she knew for sure—if she didn’t land a new job in Seattle, she’d have to find one somewhere else.

      Because she no longer trusted herself….

      Dear Reader,

      Nine-Month Surprise is the second of three books set in Downhome, Tennessee, a town that needs doctors and offers them a second chance—with dramatic and romantic results.

      Many physicians today practice medicine in an environment worlds apart from the one in which my father served as a small-town doctor. He treated patients in rural Kentucky just prior to World War II, served in the army during the war and later became a physician in the small town of Menard, Texas. In later years he completed his residency in psychiatry and practiced in Nashville, Tennessee.

      Today, medical treatment has become highly technological, subject to insurance restrictions and complicated by lawsuits. What I’ve created is an idealized situation, one that I believe many doctors would enjoy.

      The story of Will and Leah involves a familiar theme—the unplanned baby—but to me it became fresh because these two strong characters made it their own. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

      The third book in the series will focus on the relationship between Karen Lowell and Dr. Chris McRay. Although she once loved him, his testimony sent her brother to prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
