Only the Beginning

Revisit this uplifting summer romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery. Previously published as Surprise Delivery.

Heather Fitzpatrick will become a single mother very soon and she has sworn off men for good, so meeting a handsome stranger in an elevator is definitely not part of her plan—neither is going into labor as the elevator gets stuck! After pilot Jim Dyer jumps into action to help Heather deliver her baby, the chemistry and intimacy between them is undeniable, but heartsore Heather and women-wary Jim are both staunchly barricaded against marriage. Can one tiny newborn break down their defenses…and teach them to believe in love?
