With his youngest sister finally off to college, he's looking forward to living a kid-free life. Then Mia Tremaine arrives on his doorstep with a baby in tow. Mia's a stranger, but the baby's mama isn't... Mia Tremaine knows all about Alec's gold-star reputation in raising his brothers and sister. It's all her own sister, Meggie, could talk about, even though she refused to inform Alec about her pregnancy. Now she's gone, and it's up to Mia to give Meggie's daughter the best life possible. Kids need fathers-and Alec's supposedly proven to be a good one-but the man Mia finds when she delivers the news is anything but welcoming.... BABY BE MINE is a baby on-the-doorstep, marriage-of-convenience romance that will tug at your emotions with every page. With its flawed but lovable characters, this novel is a must-read for anyone who believes in forgiveness and new beginnings.
