Shotgun Groom

By Kristin Morgan

PROPOSITION: BABY

Beth Trahan was thirty–five, single and in desperate need of the most perfect male to father her perfect baby. And she even knew exactly the right man but did she have the nerve to enlist his help?

Jack Kincaid had been her best friend her hero ever since he rescued her from a school bully. But Jack was a carefree bachelor who would never go for her crazy plan. Really, marrying her tall, handsome, blue–eyed buddy to spend long, passionate nights together to create a baby? What an utterly wacky utterly wonderful thought!
