One vacation fling. One surprise pregnancy. One ex who refuses to let go.
A bicoastal surprise pregnancy romance about finding love when life goes off-script - Book 2 of the Journeys of the Heart series.
Mary Drake has her life mapped out to perfection - partnership track at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, designer wardrobe, and a meticulously planned future that leaves no room for surprises. The last thing she expects is for one passionate night in Turks and Caicos with real estate mogul Matthew Thomas to result in an unplanned pregnancy that threatens to unravel everything she's worked for.
Matthew Thomas should be just another vacation fling - a USC grad with warm eyes and a family real estate empire waiting for him in Los Angeles. But when Mary discovers she's carrying his child, she's forced to choose between the controlled life she's built and the unpredictable future he's offering from a 1000 miles away.
Surrounded by her ride-or-die crew - the same six best friends readers fell in love with in Book 1 - Mary must decide if love born from chaos can build something lasting.
But Matthew's family has other plans. His mother Gloria sees Mary as a distraction from the family business. His ex-girlfriend Monica is determined to win him back. And the distance between New York and Los Angeles feels insurmountable when you're building a relationship and preparing for a baby at the same time.
As Mary's belly grows and her carefully constructed world transforms, she'll learn that sometimes the best plans are the ones you never saw coming. And that the journey of the heart requires more courage than any courtroom battle she's ever fought.
