“Kayla? Are you okay?”

Jude quickly moved to her side. Had her passing out done something to the baby?

She faced him, her chestnut eyes suddenly alight. “I think I just felt the baby move.” She placed her other hand beside the first, her smile growing wide. “There it is again.”

Kayla reached for Jude’s hand and pressed it against her protruding belly. “Do you feel it?”

He hesitated at first, wanting to pull away, but not wanting to hurt her feelings. Then he felt it. The slightest kick beneath his fingers.

His own eyes widened. “You might have a punter in there.”

She set her hand next to his. “Or a soccer player.”

Looking into Kayla’s eyes, Jude wasn’t sure he’d ever experienced a more precious moment in his life. And as he watched her, one thing became perfectly clear.

He would do everything in his power to protect Kayla and her baby.

Dear Reader (#u56af6160-b028-594f-aefc-9d3a0fa42795),

As I contemplated Jude, the fourth brother in my Rocky Mountain Heroes series, I knew he’d had his heart broken by a lost love and that he still carried a torch for that woman. But imagine coming face-to-face with that person again, only to discover that she’s pregnant! And thus began Jude’s journey.

The power of love as God intended it—patient, kind, protective, trusting, hopeful and persevering—is hard to resist. Having been wounded both emotionally and physically in the name of love, Kayla had to rediscover love the way God meant it to be. And Jude was more than happy to show her.

I hope you enjoyed this story as much as I did. I like watching people fall in love, but there was something special about this couple. Perhaps it was the desire to see Kayla find her way home to the kind of love she so deserved.
