A Baby Changes Everything

Drew Blackwood’s seen his fair share of babies born — he just never imagined the next would be his own. Veterinarian Drew Blackwood is the only Blackwood son to have left Hickory Ridge for greener pastures. Though he adores the gently rolling mountains that cradle his family’s sprawling Virginia farm, his plans don’t include a permanent return any time soon. Not when he’s been offered a full partnership at one of the country’s most prestigious equine facilities. And definitely not before he figures out how to persuade his sexy colleague Hope Logan to acknowledge the growing attraction sizzling between them. But life often intervenes to change everything. Like the devastating news Hope receives regarding her father’s health, which drives her straight into Drew’s arms for a single night of unbridled passion. The totally unexpected pregnancy that results. Then, there is the edict from his grandfather, who insists Drew come home for the holidays. Though he knows he needs to go home to see his family and settle things with his grandfather, Drew can’t abandon a pregnant Hope, either—especially not after just losing her father. So, he convinces her to accompany him on an extended holiday to Hickory Ridge. There, amidst the warm embrace of the entire Blackwood clan, the quaint holiday traditions of his youth, and his growing feelings for the mother of his child, Drew begins to accept a new certainty: The only future he truly cares about is one that includes Hope and their baby. Now, all he needs to do is convince her that he’s worth the risk. —- ISBN: 9798322721406
