If there's one thing Kate Stevens knows for sure, it's that
life is full of surprises. Take her present situation for
example. Who would have thought she'd be conducting a
search for the perfect candidate to become a father to her
unborn baby? Funny how everything seemed idyllic in her
simple life at FireWorks, the shop she co-owns with her
Aunt Molly. Together, they create works of art, she with
her furnace and Molly with her kiln. Making a baby was most
certainly not on her agenda.
Patrick Berzani is an adventurous guy looking for the
latest thrill to keep his wanderlust soul engaged. The sea
is his master, keeping him adrift while his life takes
twists and turns along its circuitous route. Little did he
expect that someone like Kate would capture his heart with
her infectious smile and luscious lips. As far as he is
concerned, this baby that their love created is the
nautical knot that will keep them afloat forever.
Too bad Kate begs to differ with his unrealistic ideas of
bliss as she earnestly tries to prove to herself and others
that Pat is not the right candidate for the job. Sure, he
is the baby's biological father, but isn't her first
responsibility to her child and not to her lover? She needs
a man who is not afraid of settling down, and especially
one who prefers stability as opposed to risk. If only she
hadn't let Pat get so close. How is she going to be able
to pick the right dad when being around Patrick causes her
fickle heart to betray her with every beat?
BABY ON BOARD is the second novel by the talented Lisa Ruff
for Harlequin's AMERICAN ROMANCE SERIES. As with her
first, MAN OF THE YEAR, Ruff once again demonstrates her
brilliance as she transports her reader to the high seas
complete with crashing waves of heartache and tender
moments of love. By far the perfect winter escape, BABY
ON BOARD sails off into the sunset.
Kate Stevens needs a daddy for her baby-to-be. Candidates
must be dependable, stay-at-home family men who don't rush
off to sea every time the wind changes. Patrick Berzani need
not apply. The adventure-loving sailor may be the baby's
biological father, but he's far from daddy material.
Patrick thought he and Kate were great together before, but
now? They could be even better. And for Kate to believe he
wouldn't be a good father to his child, well, Patrick has
something to say about that, too! He just has to convince
Kate. So while she interviews prospective daddies, Patrick
plans to prove he's the ideal—the only—father for their
child. And the man Kate loves and needs.
