title: His Hired Baby
author: Diamond, Jacqueline
description: Falling in Love Wasn't Part of the Contract
  
  Surrogate mom Kate Evans, a widow with a five-year-old son, isn't looking forward to her upcoming delivery -- not because of the pain, but because when it's over the doctor will place her baby in the arms of the couple who hired her. When Kate gets the startling news that Tony Franco's wife has abandoned him, it only makes her feel more conflicted.
  
  Second thoughts or not, Kate signed a contract, and she won't go back on her word. Instead, she offers to help prepare Tony for single parenthood, never expecting to fall for him in the process. But once their baby is born, she'll lose both of them forever...unless she can convince Tony to give love another chance.
