He's seen what loving Ronni gets you...
Ronni might be back in his life, but Hayden's going to watch her like a hawk. He thought he'd seen the last of her when she broke his brother's heart years ago. Ronni's betrayal hurt that much more because she was the only woman Hayden could've seen himself settling down with...except his brother wooed her first.
So now she's in trouble and needs his help? Well, that's payback for you. But then, there's the promise Hayden made to his dying brother -- to take care of the struggling mother and her kid. Guess a guy's got to do what a guy's got to do. Even if a guy likes doing it a little too much for his own good.

She's stirring up the gene pool!
Dr. Amelia Young has meticulously organized her family plan. Wonderful daughter? Done. Man? Unnecessary. All Amelia has ever needed is carefully selected DNA. So what if the donor turns out to be a ridiculously hot chef with a distracting butt and wicked smile? That only proves she had good taste in genes.
Anonymously donating his DNA at a clinic when he was a student is one thing. A strange woman at his door requesting a second deposit is quite another. But when Finn Hawkins realizes Amelia needs another child to save her first -- his first -- he relents. And when that first kid turns up on his doorstep a few months later, he's in this family deep!
"A gutsy writer! I love her emotional intensity and her wry humor. Great stuff!" - New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson
"In her skillfully developed story with a novel storyline and wonderful characterization, Gable blends modern science and romance to make for a great read." - 4.5 Stars, Romantic Times BOOKreviews Magazine

A Kid to the Rescue
by Susan Gable
Harlequin Superromance # 1545
February 2009
ISBN-10: 0373715455
You can’t lose what you don’t try to keep...
Shannon Vanderhoff learned early that everything in life is fleeting. That’s why she won’t let herself get attached to anything. Or anyone. Not the traumatized little boy in her care. And definitely not art therapist Greg Hawkins, who seems as determined to care for her as he is to heal her nephew.
Like a character from one of his comic books, Greg has swooped in to their rescue, empowering the child…and loving the woman. But it takes the two of them to turn the boy’s life around. And it takes a kid with special powers all his own to create a loving family.
"Emotionally charged scenes and a terrific plot make this novel a must-read. Gable's writing is clever, and the emotions she portrays are exceptionally realistic." - 4.5 Stars, Top Pick Alexandra Kay - Romantic Times BOOKreviews Magazine

Sometimes life tests a man...
Tick. Tock.
Teenager Brook Thompson is scared to death. The test confirmed it. She's pregnant. Those two little lines have changed her life. But what really has her worried is how to tell her dad.
Tick. Tock.
Jenna Quinn doesn't do kids. She prefers a life free of responsibility and only dates men who are very single. Unfortunately she can't resist her new neighbor-a man with two children. And when her queasy stomach turns out to be more than last night's bad Chinese food, Jenna has to quickly face the fact that she's going to have a child of her own.
Tick. Tock.
Two pregnant women, both pulling Sloan Thompson in opposite directions. How will he ever survive the next nine months?

The Baby Plan
by Susan Gable
Harlequin Superromance # 1103
December 2002
ISBN-10: 0373711034
What he wants...
...is a baby. A child of his own. Jake Manning more or less raised his younger siblings; he loves kids and knows he's a natural father. However, he's had zero success as a husband. So he comes up with a baby plan, one that requires a woman, but not a wife.
What she needs...
...is money. Security. An education. A home. Harley Emerson might be a crack mechanic, but a flase conviction makes jobs hard to come by. She has no family and few friends. Jake's proposition offers her a way to get what she needs. But before she'll agree to have his baby, Harley insists on two things: a marriage of concenience and an "old-fashioned" conception.
What they find...
...is love. Neither of them expected it. Neither knows what to do with it. But sometimes plans change -- for the better. Sometimes you need more than you want -- and want more than you need.
"...THE BABY PLAN (4 1/2) is like a rainbow: As Jake and Harley's love emerges into the light, the colors of the romance change in intensity. Readers will adore Harley's individuality." 4.5 stars, Top Pick, Pamela Cohen, Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine
