About the book
Samantha Miller yearned to start a family, but eligible men were in short supply. Maybe visiting her happily married twin in England would help. Liam Connolly should have been relieved to see Sam set off for England. Since she'd been a gangly teenager, she'd had a crush on him. He'd managed to resist her as he'd felt her impetuous nature made them an unlikely match. So why, after she'd confessed the reason behind her trip, did he suddenly find he wanted to be the man to father her babies!
