For the sake of the baby...

Maura Chambers needed help with her unborn baby. Doug Connelly wanted to make up for a friend’s bad judgment. Not the best reasons for marriage, but enough to make Maura and Doug say ‘I do.’ It was to be a marriage of convenience, to get Maura through a difficult time. But how, then, could she explain the hungry look in Doug’s amber eyes, the longing she felt during their nights together? The handsome doctor’s hands made her feel nothing likea plain Jane nurse but rather like a wanton, wanted woman. Everything was within reach — a husband, a family.
