BLURB:
At the stroke of midnight, a stranger’s kiss changes everything…
Brian Fortune doesn’t think he will ever find the woman he kissed at his brother's New Year's
wedding. So when the search for the provenance of a mysterious gift leads him into a local
antique store a few days later, he's stunned to find Emmaline Lewis, proprietor—and mystery
kisser! Surprise turns to shock when he realizes that she's also six months pregnant. Brian has
never been the type to commit—and he’s really not ready to become a family man in one fell
swoop! But suddenly he knows he’ll do anything to stay at Emmaline's side—for good…

EXCERPT:
I do need you. So much. Emmaline’s heart pounded with all the things she wanted to say to
him. But those things would just make her look like a bigger fool. She’d already let her heart
stay in the lead for far too long.
“I’m a soon-to-be single mother living in a small town in Texas.” She pointed a finger at him.
“You’re a big-city bachelor who likes your freedom and your uncomplicated life. I’m a box of
complications, Brian.”
“The past month has seemed simple enough to me,” he murmured. “Why does that have to
change?”
Because I’m in love with you, she wanted to scream. But she didn’t. It was bad enough that she
felt as though she was dying on the inside. She couldn’t bring herself to invite outright rejection
from him. If he wanted more, he’d tell her.
“We’ve had fun,” she said, which was only a tiny bit of the truth between them. “I’ll keep up the
research on the sculpture and let you know if I find anything.”
“That’s it?” He blew out a long breath.
“Is there something more?” she asked, hoping beyond hope that he’d give her some sign that
her fears weren’t founded. All she needed was one tiny reason to launch herself into his arms
and ask him to stay.
Their gazes held, and she could almost feel the current of electricity running between them.
Emmaline wanted to believe that Brian would tell her something more. That he would give her
what she needed to hear, the admission of love she was too afraid to say to him.
