About the book
Father in training! For Jake Hallam and Amy Jones it was love at first sight. Amy recognized it - the trouble was, Jake refused to! Only, he couldn't refuse to acknowledge that, after a night of tender lovemaking, Amy was expecting his baby.
Jake was horrified...yet fascinated. He couldn't stay away from Amy - or ignore the growing life he'd helped create. But he was a confirmed bachelor wedded to his work. Could he learn to be a husband and father before the baby arrived?
