Revisit a fan favorite novella by USA TODAY bestselling author Laurie Page—on its own for the first time! After enduring unimaginable tragedy, prickly Dr. Eric Thompson has built walls to rival Fort Know around his emotions. But he has a soft spot for pregnant women and when he sees nurse Jenna Cooper in a moment of distress, he rushes to help. The next thing he knows, he’s driving her to doctor’s appointments and helping to plan a shower. But Jenna wants all of him, not just his time, but his heart. And unless Eric can open up, she’ll be having her baby—without him! Originally published in 2004 as part of Mother by Design
