Drive-By DaddyA funny thing happened on the way to the delivery roomProfessor Darcy Alcott prided herself on being able to take care of herself. But that was before she ended up stranded on the side of a desert road–in labor! Just when she really neeeded a hero, a drop-dead gorgeous cowboy wearing a white hat–really–came to her rescue. He delivered her baby…and stole her heart. But could she convince him not to drive off into the sunset–at least not without her?Calamity JoThere's a new man in town and she's hot on the case …Jo Quillan could smell a story a mile away, and a famous detective in her midst smelled really ripe! Plus, if she could get an exclusive on whatever sexy Case Houston was investigating, it could be her ticket out of Hicksville. But Jo was an accident waiting to happen, so Case knew right away she was on his tail–standing on it, practically. And all he wanted was a vacation! Still, she was maddeningly attractive, and she was right that something…unusual…was up in Calamity Falls.

Отрывок из книги
Dear Reader,
A funny thing happened on the way to the delivery room isn’t how most women talk about the miracle of life, but the phrase perfectly fits Cheryl Anne Porter’s story Drive-By Daddy, Harlequin Duets #21. Yes, the hero really does deliver a baby by the side of the road…but leaving mother and child behind is more difficult than he expected. Then Patricia Knoll weaves a charming tale of the eccentrics and matchmakers in a small town and the intrepid girl reporter who is trying to get herself out of Hicksville in Calamity Jo.

Once that was done, he caught her attention as he worked his way up to her head and gently removed the blanket from under her shoulders and wrapped it around her waist and legs. Then, with his shadow casting Darcy in blessed shade and drawing her attention up to him, she saw him reach into the pocket of his jeans and pull out a pocket knife…which he opened. Darcy’s eyes widened.
“Umbilical cord,” he said. “Got to cut the little filly loose.”
