Читать книгу The Rancher's Christmas Baby (incl. Bonus Book) - Cathy Gillen Thacker - Страница 2
Оглавление“I know you, Amy. You’ll never go all the way.”
Maybe she wouldn’t if she didn’t want a baby with him so very much. “I will, too!”
“Then prove it.” Teddy turned to her, making no effort to hide his desire. “Go into the bedroom. Take off your clothes. And wait for me.”
She turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. “I thought it was going to be a lot easier being married to you!”
“No kidding!”
Huffing in exasperation, she marched over to the bed. Stood staring down at it for one long second.
“This is to make a baby,” she whispered to herself, already toeing off her boots. “Our baby. And he or she will be made in the spirit of tenderness and hope and love.”
This baby would be the ultimate Christmas gift to each other…
Dear Reader,
My husband is also my best friend. We became great pals as we fell in love. But what if, I wondered, that hadn’t been the case? What if we had been friends first and then realised we wanted to date? Would our romance have developed in the same way?
Thirty-five-year-old Teddy McCabe and Amy Carrigan have been friends since primary school. Wary of risking their friendship, they have never allowed themselves to think of each other as anything but companions, although they have joked about having kids together one day. As the Christmas season begins, and Amy’s thirty-second birthday approaches, they realise they might never get the family they both want so much if they don’t start down another less traditional path.
So they rush off to the justice of the peace, determined to get married, and move on to Phase Two of operation baby-making. They already know each other. They’re not planning to have sex. This is going to be a piece of cake! They don’t bargain on the complications that quickly – and inevitably – ensue.
But as anyone who has ever said “I do” knows… marriage changes everything!
I hope you have as much fun reading this holiday story as I did creating it.
Best wishes to you and all your loved ones,
Cathy Gillen Thacker
