About the book
Big business or motherhood?
Emma Rainer was a tough corporate lawyer. But outside the office, her almost magical attraction for children dictated that she ought to be an earth mother.
Currently a major contender for promotion, she'd been pleased to be among those invited to Sir Clive Conway's holiday island--until she discovered that his whole family, including children and babies, were there, too!
Emma didn't know if she'd be able to maintain her corporate image--and that meant she could kiss the promotion goodbye. But then she met Frazer Conway, Sir Clive's half brother and father of an adorable little boy, who quickly made it clear he wanted Emma in both her roles!
