Father Found

Father Found
Muriel Jensen

Three identical sisters, three handsome bachelors and one enchanted night–nine months later, one woman is about to become a mother, but WHO'S THE DADDY?Finally, the father is revealed!Augusta Ames woke up in a hospital room with no memory of who she was–or how she'd gotten pregnant! Then one night a handsome stranger came to her, stated they were married and whisked her away. It was for her own good, he'd said. She had to trust him. But trusting him meant giving her heart to a man she didn't remember….Bram Bishop couldn't tell Augusta the truth–he wasn't her husband, but he was her baby's father. Somehow he'd have to remind her of all they'd planned for their future. But if her memory never returned, he had to make her fall in love with him–all over again!

“Yes, the schoolteacher and the spy. It seemed like it shouldn’t make sense. But love isn’t a logical thing. Remember the night before I left? We had just made love and you were crying because I had to leave. Remember what you said to me?”

She tried to put the scene together. “I don’t think I could live without you now,” she said aloud, hearing their voice in her head and repeating the words.

“That’s right. And what did you say after that? It was very direct.”

Augusta groaned. “I asked you to marry me.”

“Yes, you did,” he said with obvious satisfaction. “I didn’t lie about that.”

“But you did lie when you told me we were married three days after we had our blood tests.”

“I dreamed,” he corrected….

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Muriel Jensen and her husband, Ron, live in Astoria, Oregon, in an old Four-Square Victorian at the mouth of the Columbia River. They share their home with a golden retriever/golden Labrador mix named Amber, and five cats who moved in with them without an invitation. (Muriel insists that a plate of Friskies and a bowl of water are not an invitation!)

They also have three children and their families in their lives—a veritable crowd of the most interesting people and children. In addition, they have irreplaceable friends, wonderful neighbors and “a life they know they don’t deserve but love desperately anyway.”
