She was able to see past it to the real Matt. I loved the way thatClaire was able to bring out the best in him, even when he was resisting.It was really interesting to see the way that he would start to loosen up and show his feelings and then get spooked and retreat. I loved the way things worked out at the family reunion. The conclusion was fantastic and the perfect wrapup to the series.From the AuthorIt's always fun to work on a continuity series! But working with the authors for the Larkville series and wrapping up eight books was especially fun.From the Back CoverSuccessful CEO Matt Patterson isn't called the Ice Man for nothinghe's built up his multibilliondollar company through cool decisionmaking and a ruthless reputation. But now he has a new challenge to facefatherhood!Finding himself guardian to gorgeous baby Bella, Matt's more comfortable in the boardroom than changing a diaper. Lucky, then, that social worker Claire Kincaid agrees to play temporary mom. Happy families might never have been in Matt's plans, but Claire and little Bella are opening his eyes to a life that money could never buy...About the AuthorSweet, funny or sad, my characters make some serious lemonade out of their lemons! :) Because that's how I see life. I have three kids...one of whom has epilepsy. Raising him taught me (and my husband and our other two kids) that sometimes a situation that seems bad can have its blessings. Also, being raised in a family of 11 kids (yes, 11) I learned a lot about sharing and how love encompasses more than just romance. So pick up one of my books this week or weekend and see my sometimes wacky, sometimes heartrending vision of real love! susan meier...Oh...Almost forgot...

His palms began to sweat. His mouth went dry.Still, he never shirked a responsibility. He opened the door and walked inside.Woodpaneled walls, an empty reception desk and a soft powder scent greeted him. So did the sound of a baby's laughter. Highpitched and filled with joy, the littlegirl giggles and squeals of delight rolled up the hall.Nine chances out of ten that was his baby.His baby.Man, this was going to put a cramp in his love life. And his traveling. And his staff.Good God! The housekeeper, Mrs. McHenry, would have a fit when she discovered they were going to have to add a nursery and a nanny to his alreadybusy household.He followed the sound of the giggles to an office at the end of a short hall. Her back to him, a slim woman held a baby in the crook of her arm. Her glossy chestnutbrown hair was swept up in a neat, professional chignon and her red dress rode her curves like an Italian sports car took the turns at Le Mans.His eyebrows rose. "Somehow I'd always pictured the women who worked at adoption agencies as grayhaired old maids in tacky white blouses."The baby stopped laughing. The woman at the window spun around.For the first time Matt could remember, he was speechless.Huge round br
