The Hardy family is about to get bigger. The question is: Who is expecting a bundle of joy? After a minor misunderstanding – which leads to a major one – Emma Pritchard is facing an uncertain future. She’s not sure she’s ready to be a mother, and she’s even less sure that Finn Hardy is prepared to be a father. Finn finds his world thrown into tumult. He loves Emma more than anything, but a new life is closing in on him – and he’s terrified. When Emma’s errant mother returns to town professing pure motives – but nefarious deeds – the Hardys find themselves in the middle of another mystery. Emma desperately wants a family, and that includes a grandmother for her unborn child. She also needs to face a harsh reality: Her mother isn’t the woman she wants to believe in. The Hardys are excited to welcome a new addition to their family, but they have to uncover Emma’s mother’s true motivations before they can move forward. When things come to a head, Emma’s life hangs in the balance – and she’s the one who stands to lose the most. Can the Hardys save Emma and smooth Finn’s frayed nerves, or will this couple crumble under the pressure? This is the ninth book in the Hardy Brothers Security series.
