It started with a spark and one night together, a baby on the way and hero determined to be a bachelor and never a father and a heroine who is stubborn and so very independent, can these two make something of their lives and open up to the emotions and love that is growing in both of them for the baby and themselves.
Dr Gabriel Marks is a liver transplant doctor and very good at what he does he grew up with his mother and grandmother with no father, he puts everything he has into his career, but when on a conference he meets another member of the transplant team and the sparks fly, and a very sensual, passionate night is had after a stormy night cancels flights.
Zoe Avery is a nurse but now works with the liver transplant team, single and caring for her mother, having a relationship is for her at the moment but a HEA with a loving husband and family would be lovely in the future. When she spends a fabulous night with Gabe and finds out she is pregnant she decides to have this baby on her own, but when she meets up again with Gabe and he discovers she is pregnant he steps in and is determined to have a part in his child’s life, this is so very hard for Zoe as she is so used to doing everything on her own but the feelings are growing all the time.
This really is a lovely story one that brings all sorts of emotions flying off the pages, they did struggle to get to that HEA, Gabe had such a hard time putting Zoe before work and Zoe was so independent, but love won out and a beautiful HEA happened. This is a story that ticks all of the boxes for a great romance and medical one that I recommend reading.
A surprise baby, a steamy attraction and real-life always popping up to keep them on their toes! A nice ground-work is laid for the story from the beginning of the book, and we get to know more about the characters as the story progresses. Zoe is really stubborn and fairly selfish in how she sees this whole baby thing, so she’s a bit hard to like. Gabe immediately steps up and wants to be a part of the process, so we feel for him as she tries to push him away. A solid read!
When attraction gets the better of them at a conference, Dr. Gabriel Marks and nurse Zoe Avery decide to have a fling before they each return home to their lives across the country from each other. He’s a busy transplant doctor, she’s a patient advocate with personal issues of her own that take up a lot of her time. They expect to possibly see each other again in six months at the next meeting, but other than that, go on about their lives.
When the next conference rolls around, Gabe is shocked to see that Zoe is pregnant. She knew from discussions they had previously that he wasn’t interested in marriage and a family, so she decided she’s having this baby on her own. It turns out Gabe is moving to her neck of the woods at just the right time when she needs a temporary place to live, and he’s not backing down now that he knows they have a child on the way … he plans to be a father to this baby!
