Copied Back Blurb
If there's a baby, then she'll be his bride
Eligible bachelor Rafaelle Villani is used to loving his women...and leaving them. Until his freedom is compromised by a candid newspaper photo, which suggests he has finally fallen...for Rachel Carmichael. Soon the world's press is reporting their engagement!
Rafaelle claims his fake fiancée; twenty-four hours later Rachel has been passionately seduced—and fears she has conceived his baby. So, Rafaelle demands that Rachel pretend to be his future bride!
I enjoyed the book. Rachel was fiesty and loyal to her family, but I did think her family seemed to care more about themselves. Cause once her half sister saved herself with her brother's help they left Rachel to fend for herself. (NFM)

Unexpected by Lori Foster (Brava, Sept. 2003)
Back Blurb
Meet Ray Vereker, a female Rambo with quick reflexes, sharp instincts, a hot body, and a bad case of morning sickness...
OH, YES...
Eli Conners expected hired mercenary Ray Vereker to be a tank of a guy with forty tattoos—not a gorgeous creature with considerable karate skills. While Eli certainly needs Ray's help, he thinks she could use a little of what he's offering...a down-and-dirty, body-scorching passion of the forever kind...
OH, NO...
Ray's as good as any man when it comes to storming enemy compounds and loading an AK-47, but Eli's strong sensuality and gentle touch leave her shaken and stirred. And really, who could blame a girl for succumbing to mind-blowing temptation in the steamy jungle? But now it's back to business. If only Ray wasn't feeling hot, bothered, dizzy, and just a little bit, well, queasy...
OH, BABY...
The last thing either of these unlikely lovers expects is to be expecting. Suddenly, Ray's precise, no-nonsense mission is veering wildly off course, derailed by raging hormones, out-of-control desire, and a delirious love that is completely unexpected...
Good story. A little slow starting but a few chuckles too.
