A second-chance love
Back in college, Garland Warner developed feelings for her older brother’s best friend, Ryker Dugrandpre. But she soon learned the attraction wasn’t mutual when he left school and married someone else. In time, Garland moved on and even had a baby of her own. She and little Amya now have a great life together, just the two of them. Yet that may be about to change when a guilt-ridden nurse reveals that Amya might have been switched at birth with another infant girl—Ryker’s.
His wife died the same day she delivered little Kai, so Kai is all Ryker has left. Both Garland and Ryker want what is best—both for their biological child and the daughter of their hearts. The solution is as obvious as it is crazy—move in with each other and raise the girls as sisters. Ryker still thinks of the sensational beauty as his friend’s kid sister, but the passionate glances and smoldering kisses they now share heat up the distance between them. Will they be able to let go of the past in order to finally build a bright future and family together?
Garland glanced up at the sky. “It’s really beautiful out here. I love nights like this when the moon is full.”
Ryker just sat there absorbing what she’d said.
Garland gave him a sidelong glance. “This is such a perfect night.”
He pulled her to her feet. “You’re right,” he murmured. “Everything about this night is perfect.”
Ryker backed her up until her legs hit the poolside table and she stood pressed up against the hard surface. There was no escape.
Garland’s breath quickened, making her breasts rise and fall faster as they brushed against his chest. Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were swollen from his kisses.
It was clear that Garland wanted him, but she was fighting herself as much as she was fighting him.
Ryker did not just want her. He needed her.
He felt a low growl rumble in his throat, and then he crushed his lips against hers. Grabbing her neck to pull her closer, he pushed his tongue against her lips, demanding entrance.
“The hospital mixes up babies” are the words every parent dreads. Garland Warner and Ryker Dugrandpre are no different. In the first book of my new series, The Dugrandpres of Charleston, the deathbed confession of a nurse brings Ryker back into Garland’s life. Though the circumstances are less than happy...
Ryker’s very reason for living is his daughter, Kai. And Garland loves every minute of her life with her daughter, Amya.
Their worlds are turned upside down after a phone call from the hospital where both children were born. They are stunned when they discover that the little girls they have been raising may not be their biological daughters.
I was inspired to write this story after reading an article about a young couple who lost their lives in a car accident. After their deaths, it was discovered that the baby girl, the lone survivor in the accident, was not their biological daughter. There was a mix-up at the hospital where she was born and her grandparents and the other set of parents involved decided not to switch the babies.
What would you do in this situation? I’d love to hear from you!
Best Regards,
Jacquelin

My Baby
