Expecting the Best

by Lynnette Kent

As the oldest of eleven children, Denver cop Zach Harmon spent a lot of time helping out with his siblings. Now he's enjoying his freedom, and although he loves his nieces and nephews, he doesn't plan on having a family of his own. Then Shelley Hightower invites him to a dinner being held in her honor. Shelley's a perfect date -- beautiful, funny, independent, everything he admires in a woman. The whole evening passes like a dream -- and the truth is, neither of them wants it to end. So when the blizzard begins, it seems logical to take shelter for the night.... Together. Six weeks later, he learns there's a baby on the way. Unexpectedly, Zach finds that he's looking forward to giving up his bachelor life for the woman he loves -- and their child. All he has to do is convince Shelley!
