New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods sweeps readers away with a beloved story of falling in love when you least expect it…
Stubborn, sexy rancher and single father Chance Adams will do anything to get back his share of the family ranch—even if it means seducing his uncle's ornery stepdaughter, schoolteacher Jenny Adams. Even if it means marrying her. Even if it means falling in love with her?
Jenny always dreamed of finding the perfect man, but perhaps Chance, with his hellion, if lovable, son and his unbending grudge against her family, doesn’t exactly fit the bill. She knew he had a one-track mind, all right—but was it just her imagination, or was he starting to get...derailed?
“I take it you had something you wanted to say in private,”
Chance said.
Jenny lifted her gaze and met his evenly. “I just wanted to make sure we were clear about something.”
“What’s that?”
“You and I...” Jenny waved her hand dismissively, as if no other words were necessary.
“Yes?” Chance prodded.
‘There is no you and I, no us, no anything, correct? We already established that.” Jenny tried hard to sound matter-of-fact.
He returned her look with a perfectly bland expression. “If you say so, darlin’.”
“I do,” Jenny said firmly.
Chance grinned. “Last time I heard those two words said with so much passion, I was standing in a church.”
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, Special Edition commemorates the warm bonds of family. This month, parenthood brings some unlikely couples together in the most wondrous ways!

Myma Temte delivers book three of the MONTANA MAVERICKS: RETURN TO WHITEHORN series. In A Father’s Vow, a hard-headed Native American hero must confront his true feelings for the vivacious schoolteacher who is about to give birth to his child. And look for reader favorite Lindsay McKenna’s next installment in her mesmerizing COWBOYS OF THE SOUTHWEST series when a vulnerable heroine simply seeks solace on the home front, but finds her soul mate in a sexy Stallion Tamer!
Listen for wedding bells in Practically Married by Christine Rimmer. This final book in the CONVENIENTLY YOURS series is an irresistibly romantic tale about an arranged marriage between a cynical rancher and a soft-spoken single mom. Next, Andrea Edwards launches her DOUBLE WEDDING duet with The Paternity Question. This series features twin brothers who switch places and find love—and lots of trouble!
Finally, Diana Whitney caps off the month with Baby in His Cradle. In the concluding story of the STORK EXPRESS series, a very pregnant heroine desperately seeks shelter from the storm and winds up on the doorstep of a brooding recluse’s mountain retreat.
I hope you treasure this book, and each and every story to come!

Dear Reader,
From the moment fourteen-year-old Jenny Runningbear burst onto the scene in The Rancher and His Unexpected Daughter, I knew she was going to be a powerful force to be reckoned with. Feisty, stubborn and willful even then, she was destined to have a book—and a love—of her own.
With her loyalty to her Native American heritage, with a dedicated attorney for a mother and Harlan Adams for a stepfather, how could Jenny grow up to be anything other than an incredible, special woman?
As a teen, she’d stolen Harlan’s pickup and turned his life upside down, before he managed to tame her and marry her mother.
Now in Unexpected Mommy it’s payback time for all that mischief she stirred up way back when. Jenny is a dedicated teacher, whose first day of school is turned into chaos by none other than an Adams.
Petey Adams is the grandson of Harlan’s bad-sheep brother, who’d been sent away from the family ranch in disgrace. Petey and his daddy, sexy Chance Adams, are dead set on revenge, and Jenny is caught squarely in the middle.
But no one is better suited to matching wits with a couple of troublemakers than Jenny, and no one is destined to fall harder than this reformed bad girl who’s learned all about loyalty and love the hard way.
I hope you enjoy this very special woman and this latest continuation of the AND BABY MAKES THREE series.
Unexpected Mommy
