Read the book: «Baby By The Book»
“Susan? Is everything okay?”
No response.
Rand knocked on the bedroom door, but still couldn't raise anyone. Returning to the nursery, he tapped again, then opened the door a crack.
“Susan?” He peeked inside and saw her sitting in the rocker. Both Susan and Penny were sound asleep, though even in a deep sleep, Susan held her baby protectively against her.
Relieved, Rand shook his head. Poor girl. She was so exhausted, she probably could have gone to sleep standing up. He couldn’t leave her that way. She hadn’t even taken off her high heels.
He settled the baby into her bassinet, and she didn’t stir at all. Rand watched her sleep. He would never admit it, but there was something about babies that got to him. He’d been in heaven this evening, taking over Penny’s care. The baby girl was creeping under his skin.
And so was her mother.

Texas native Kara Lennox has been an art director, typesetter, advertising copy writer, textbook editor and reporter. She’s worked in a boutique, a health club and has conducted telephone surveys. She’s been an antiques dealer and briefly ran a clipping service. But no work has made her happier than writing romance novels.
When Kara isn’t writing, she indulges in an ever-changing array of weird hobbies, from rock climbing to crystal digging. But her mind is never far from her stories. Just about anything can send her running to her computer to jot down a new idea for some future novel.
