“Are you sure you want to do this? We can hold off another month.”
I smiled as I smoothed down the collar of his shirt, touching his cheek with my hand. “Love, you have to face them eventually. It might as well be before the wedding.”
Kyle clenched his jaw but said nothing as we stood on the steps, watching as the taxi appeared in the distance. It had been six glorious months since that night in the foyer and I couldn’t be happier. The firm was flourishing and since we had settled into his house, he had worked normal hours, spending every night here with me. I was still working at the office with Gretchen and there were days I woke thinking I was living in a dream, but none of it had disappeared yet so I was clinging to this reality that was now my life.
It had taken lots of discussion but Kyle’s parents were finally coming for a visit to our house, to talk about the wedding we were going to have in two months and to repair their relationship with their son. Kyle was nervous even now. I could feel the tension in his body as he wrapped his arms around me, his chin on my head. “You know, you could have a beer or two before they get here,” I said softly.
“I’d rather have you again,” he answered, his hand tweaking the underside of my breast.
“Kyle,” I warned, turning in his arms. “We don’t have that kind of time.” I then gave him a smile and reached up, brushing my lips against his. “But I do need to tell you something.”
“What is it, love?” he asked, his eyes on mine.
“You are going to be a father,” I blurted out, my heart bursting with love for this man. I had been super shocked myself when the faint line on the test had appeared.
“I… what?” he said, stunned as he looked at me.
“In about say seven months or so,” I smiled.
“We are going to be parents,” he said, kissing me hard. “Are you sure?” I nodded and he gave me a tender kiss, his hand drifting between us to touch the very small swell that had already appeared.
“Hot damn, I’m going to be a father.”
“Yes indeed,” I answered, covering his hand with mine. “Perhaps that will break the ice with your parents.”

Calvin Barnard is a hard-working New York stockbroker, focused entirely on his job. His life is simple until the day he gets a call from the lawyer of his late Great-Aunt Loretta. The great-aunt he barely knew has left him $10 million and a house in the tiny backwoods Oregon town of Carterville—but there's one condition. Before Calvin can get the money, he has three months to marry a girl from that same rural town. Suddenly, everything is complicated, as Calvin tries to figure out how his reclusive great-aunt had millions of dollars, what he’s going to do with her old dusty mansion, and which small-town girl will be willing to marry him on short notice. Interior designer Ellie Parker looks like the perfect solution to his problems: She’s beautiful, single, and available to fix up the old house. But when Calvin starts to feel more than sympathy for sweet Ellie, he’ll have to decide between the inheritance of a lifetime or the love of the most enchanting woman he’s ever met.
