Romance Contemporary

A magna cum laude graduate of UCLA, Cassandra Harte never took a test she couldn’t ace. So when her home pregnancy test comes back negative, she’s certain the kit’s defective.

Failure has never been an option for Cassandra. She has a well-established career, a handsome husband (Nick), and a lovely home. But there’s one thing Cassandra desperately wants that she doesn’t have: A baby. After trying for months to get pregnant without success, she starts to wonder if she’s finally met a challenge she cannot conquer.

Determined to conceive, she creates an ovulation calendar so she can seize that perfect 24-hour window. When that fails, she sends up fervent prayers. But it soon becomes apparent that her inability to become pregnant has nothing to do with timing or faith, and everything to do with Renee, her diabolical, thirteen-year-old stepdaughter.

Re: The Baby in the Window

I would sure love to know more about Nick. He sounds wonderful! If a man
loves a woman like Nick loves Cass, he is a good man in my book.

You have to be the first Author I've known of who has gone through the lengths they have to come up with such a background for their characters. To me, it seems like excessive work to get information from Google, etc., but if it helps you to write your books, all the better!! Your characters sound very well-rounded, nonetheless, and I'm anxious to read about Nick, as well as Cass and the rest of the characters in your books. It sounds like I'll be taken on quite an emotional ride!! Congratulations on your books, and have a wonderful New Year!!

I want to meet this Nick that you are so invested in.

Melanie Backus, thank you so much for your comment and I hope you get an opportunity to meet Nick. You definitely can if you pick up a copy of the first book in the series, "Married in the Nick of Nine," as well as the sequel, "The Baby in the Window." They're both available on Amazon. Happy New Year!

Perry Roberson, yes, I do put a lot into creating my characters. I really appreciate you taking the time to make comments. You're right, "Married in the Nick of Nine" and "The Baby in the Window" are emotional rollercoaster rides! Happy New Year and thank you for the congrats!
(Alretha Thomas 11:43am January 6, 2014)

Sue Farrell, pick up copies of "Married in the Nick of Nine," and "The Baby in the Window" and you will get up close and personal encounters with Nick. Thank you so much for taking time to make a comment!

Fantasy is great. I dream about perfect men all the time. BUT...I've been married for 35 years to the same guy and I've never regretted it. No matter how much we might fight, I can't sleep without him at my back. So I'll take the real deal anytime!

Love the book descriptions for both book. The book I will read first is Married in Nick of Nine. Thanks
