"Satisfying contemporary romance."

Ian Ridley feels like running. He's just married Dr. Sophie Calvert, the future mother of his baby. After the ceremony, Sophie overhears Ian tell his friend that backing out of the marriage was not an option. Sophie explodes and tells him she's going to get a divorce as soon as possible.

Going home to Tennessee, she expects her family to be disappointed, but they rally around her. She's shocked when Ian shows up. He's resigned his job and wants them to make a real marriage. Sophie has seen her own parent's marriage crumble and doesn't want to raise a child in that kind of home. Ian's parents were indifferent to him, sending him to boarding school, and he doesn't want that for his child.

This is a good story as Sophie and Ian try to work things out between themselves, both wanting what's best for their child.
