Sheri, the surrogate mother of twins, ended up with more than she bargained for when she agreed to become the surrogate mother for her best friend and her husband. Just before the birth of the twins, her best friend and her husband were killed in an auto accident, so she is raising her two alone.After four month, dealing with the grief from the death of her friends, giving birth to the twins, planning a double funeral and the baby blues, Miguel Rivera, uncle to the twins knocks on her door. He expects to take his brother's child back to Chile to grow up on the family estate with him and his mother. His first surprise is that he had two babies, a boy and a girl and that Sheri, the surrogate mother is also the biological mother and very attached to her children.  This sets the plot for some adventure, some hard choices and lots of miscommunication between these two as he forces her to marry him and come home to Chile with him.It is a lovely and entertaining love story and of special interest to me as my daughter has been a surrogate mother to eight children. It takes a very special woman to carry a child for someone else and give it up, even when the egg is not hers. This story touched on the feelings and how hard this is for the special woman that do a surrogate pregnancy for others; they really are special, as is this story.
