A BABY ON THE WAY—AND ON HIS DOORSTEP When an infant shows up on Nick Slater's desk with a note, this case has the detective stumped. At which point beautiful Georgia Hurley shows up in his office as well, with an explanation for why she dumped him—and sporting a baby bump that dates back to their one night together four months prior… Georgia knows she turned on Nick for his own good…but will Detective Daddy believe her? She offers to help care for his "temporary" baby for one week—surely the mother will turn up by then. But when the seven days are up, will they part ways and go back to their separate corners? Or will they find that a week of living as husband and wife, mommy and daddy, just made them hungry for the real thing?

Meg Maxwell is a former pseudonym for author Melissa Senate, whose women's fiction titles, such as See Jane Date and The Love Goddess' Cooking School, have been published in over twenty-five countries. NOTE: Melissa hasn't published new novels under the name Meg Maxwell since 2017. Meg's debut miniseries for Harlequin Special Edition, Hurley's Homestyle Kitchen, is set in and around a family-owned restaurant. There are sisters, hunky cowboys, hot detectives, delicious food, and a lot of romance. Book 1: A Cowboy in the Kitchen, Book 2: The Detective's 8 lb 10 oz Surprise. Book 3: The Cowboy's Big Family Tree. Book 4: The Cook's Secret Ingredient. Book 5: Charm School For Cowboys. Book 6 (Oct '17): Santa's Seven-Day Baby Tutorial. Also look for my contribution to the new Montana Mavericks series, The Great Family Roundup: Mommy and the Maverick (July '17). Do not read these books on an empty stomach! Lots of comfort food cooking—and eating—goes on.
