The midwife’s pregnancy shock!

From the moment she sees Dr. Xavier O’Donnell, midwife Brighde Campbell knows how the night will end. In the gorgeous obstetrician’s arms, she can forget the closely kept reason she avoids commitment—but then she discovers she’s pregnant...

Finding out he’s going to be a father both shocks and delights Xavier, but Brighde seems intent on shutting him out. Her painful secret will test both their hearts, but can he convince Brighde that no matter what the future holds, they can face it together?

Brighde hesitated at the door to the hospital nursery.

She needed to collect a baby to take to her mother, but through the glass she could see Xavier. He was standing by a crib, holding a newborn, and Brighde was certain it was the one she was coming for.

She’d avoided him for twenty-four hours. Since the ultrasound. They hadn’t discussed it. She needed time to work out what she was going to do, and she suspected that Xavier hoped the ultrasound would make her change her mind. She hadn’t changed it yet, but she was wavering. And she couldn’t handle any increased pressure, however subtle, from him. She was barely holding things together without throwing additional emotions into the mix.

She took a minute to watch him holding the baby. He hadn’t seen her; he was too caught up in the moment. The baby was clutching his finger and looking up at him, no doubt transfixed by his mesmerizing eyes. Seemed like he had the same effect on females of all ages. His lips were moving as he held a one-sided conversation with the baby. He cradled the baby like an expert and she could just imagine him with his own child. He looked utterly gorgeous.

God, she wished things were different.

Dear Reader (#u56347e9c-f2bc-58e3-9f84-8d3817d9281c),

A feisty midwife and a gorgeous obstetrician with come-to-bed eyes... What could go wrong?

Plenty, it would seem. Starting with Huntington’s Disease.

HD is a genetically inherited disease that fortunately is fairly rare but, while advances were made in the late stages of last century, for which there is still no cure. It presents a lot of challenges and poses a lot of questions for which there is really no right or wrong answer. So, while the subject matter might not be the most light-hearted, it certainly made for an interesting storyline. I hope you can empathise with Brighde and stick with her as she searches for her happily-ever-after.
