Reed Hudson was fairly certain he didn't love anyone and
had never fallen in love. He was too controlled and firmly
convinced himself he was too smart to ever fall into that
trap. His career was centered on working with couples that
had fallen into that love and marriage trap. Snared by
their ideas of love and promises. As a successful,
hardened, respected and most sought out divorce lawyer
Reed
knew of what he spoke. He was never ever going to put
himself through what his couples did, each and every one
of
them. Best intentions and reality hit Reed right between the
eyes
and if he were truly honest with himself straight to his
safely walled in heart. But Reed never saw it coming. When Reed's sister is suddenly killed in an accident he
gets a surprise visit from Lilah, his sister's friend.
Lilah
is there to carry out Spring's last wishes which were for
Reed to care for her baby daughter Rosie. Reed has perhaps the most eclectic, dare I say, messed up
family. His father has repeatedly married, seemingly a big
proponent of marriage although not so much in terms of
longevity. Reed's dad had lots of wives and children.
So Reed winds up with a whole slew of siblings and half
siblings and as the oldest brother - well you get the
picture. The entire Hudson clan has Reed on speed dial
for
whenever they are in trouble and Lilah quickly learns that
happens a lot. The original plan is for Lilah to stay until Reed readies
himself and organizes his life to include taking care of
Rosie. Reed immediately reaches out to find a good nanny
and a more appropriate place to raise this child. And
Reed
instinctively know that Lilah can make this happen. Lilah
isn't going to return home until she is convinced that
taking care of Rosie includes loving. And that's going to
be a challenge. Maureen Child deliciously pits this hardened attorney with
a warmhearted soul and you are going to love this battle.
THE BABY INHERITANCE is vintage Maureen Child. Family
dramas abound. Love is ever present even among those that
deny its existence. THE BABY INHERITANCE is entertainment
at its best. Lighthearted and joyous story that will
engage
your interest as well as your heart.
SUMMARY
