About the book
Pssst... Tess is pregnant! And single! And...a virgin?
The news of her "pregnancy" hit Tess Monahan like a ton of wet diapers. Her denials were lost in a gust of gossip, and she wasn't about to announce to all of Marigold, Indiana, "I'm a 26-year-old virgin!"
Besides, her "bun in the oven" had awakened the protective instincts of Will Darrow...the man she'd been trying to get to notice her for as long as she could remember. Will's impulse was chivalrous but slipped into passion. And Tess would never halt his smoldering kisses. In fact, she was hoping their wild loving would put Will in the mind to marry and make some babies of his own with her!
