Margot Early

Bronwyn Davies is furious. Widowed, penniless and desperate, she came to Fairchild Acres looking for work and to confront stockbroker Patrick Stafford, her son's real father. Sure, she wasn't expecting the red carpet rollout from her ex–lover but insults and rudeness? Well, she'll show him exactly what she's made of and what he's missing!

Even after all these years, Patrick still hasn't forgiven Bronwyn for marrying another man for money.

Now Bronwyn can see what life could have been, with him. Sure, he'll step up and acknowledge his son. But the cost will be far dearer than Bronwyn could ever have imagined.

Raising a family on his own doesn't leave widower Seamus Lee much time for cultivating new relationships. Which is just how he wants it. But Rory Gorenzi, the unconventional wilderness instructor at his children's mountain school, has other ideas.

Ever since their arrival in the snowy Colorado town, Rory finds the Lee clan impossible to resist. But it's obvious that Seamus is hiding something. Can Rory break through his defences to learn his secret and to help him become the father his children need? Because he's the man she wants to get to know a whole lot better.

Kal Johnson is a still–grieving widower with a young child. He can't imagine marrying again not for love, anyway. But it's becoming increasingly clear that his daughter needs someone besides him. A mother. Kal's solution is to place an ad in a local magazine.

Wanted: Woman to enter celibate marriage and be stepmother to four–year–old girl. Send child–rearing philosophies to Mr. Family .

Erika Blade is a woman who's afraid of love. And sex. She answers the ad, figuring she's probably the only person in the whole world to whom a "celibate marriage" would appeal. After all, she does want children but she doesn't want to acquire them in the usual way. As it turns out, Kal likes her letter and soon discovers that he likes her. More than likes. He's attracted to her. The one thing that wasn't supposed to happen.

"Compelling from the first paragraph, Mr. Family steals the reader's breath with its rare honesty and sensitivity."
Jean R. Ewing, award–winning author of Scandal's Reward

"Mr. Family proves again that there is no voice quite like Margot Early's when it comes to the language of the heart."
Laura DeVries (a.k.a. Laura Gordon), author of contemporary and historical romance

The Midwives

Home to Alaska. To her ex–husband. Her family. And the babies waiting to be born

Midwife Francesca Walcott has plenty of good reasons to stay away from Alaska. Her ex–husband, Charlie Marcus, for one. Her family, for another. Thirty years ago she chose to marry Charlie over her family's objections. They haven't forgiven her or spoken to her since.

Now she's come home to Alaska because Mia, a midwife, friend and former apprentice, has been found dead. She's left Francesca her estate: a house in Talkeetna, a mine and forty–three sled dogs.

Suddenly there are more reasons to stay in Alaska than to leave. The mystery surrounding Mia's death. The mothers and babies who need her skills as a midwife. The hope of reconciling with her family. And above all, Charlie. The man who's somehow connected to everything in her life. The man who she used to love and still does.
