Caitlin Calhoun just lost her newlywed husband in Iraq. Instead of a happy future spent with him, she is now alone. There is only one way to create a legacy for him â€" be inseminated with his frozen sperm. In doing so, Caitlin would still have a piece of him that would live on. Despite her husband’s dysfunctional family, she knew she was doing the right thing by bringing this child into the world. She just wasn’t expecting Lucky. Despite the fact that Lucky and Luke shared the same name and were half brothers, Lucky felt no remorse when Luke passed on. He was nothing more than a thorn in Lucky’s side â€" someone whom he had lived in the shadows of his whole life. Even now, in death, Luke had a widow who was going to have his baby. How terrific. Everything was so messed up for Lucky, but being a Marine had helped him sort out his anger and confusion until life threw him a real zinger in Cait. How could it have happened? How could he be the one who was going to be a father? He didn’t bargain for this or her. Could he just stand by and be the uncle, especially when Cait was so gorgeous. It was his baby after all, even if he hadn’t had the chance to have the fun making it. The tension was growing in such an unexpected way. Rogenna Brewer writes a love story full of twists and turns in THE MARINE’S BABY. An unexpected situation becomes the basis for a new life and love. What a great theme. What a great book.

SUMMARY

In just a few months Caitlin Calhoun went from a wife to a widow to a mother-to-be. All she'd wanted was to honor her dead husband by having his baby. But that's not what she got. Thanks to an unfortunate mix-up, her child's father is her husband's half brother, Lucky. So how does she break the news that he's about to become a father? Family is the last thing the war-toughened Marine expected to have—not with all the bad blood in his own. But Lucky would never turn his back on a child…or the woman who's given him a second chance.
