Always...

SHE HAD PLANS ...BUT LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES

Marielle McCleary's clock is ticking and she's devastated. It's now or never for this gorgeous thirty-four-year-old. Her ex-husband stalled on starting a family, and since the divorce she's fought off romance. But one magical weekend with Thomas Saxon changes all that. Now Marielle is in love. She is also, by amazing fortune, pregnant. The problem is that women the world over are melting to Thomas' three-alarm kisses and tender touch --on the movie screen. What could those few exquisite hours he'd shared with Marielle mean to him? Especially when his leading lady, a hard-as-nails Texas beauty queen, is about to trap him into marriage.

As Marielle fights for an exotic inheritance that she'll pass to her own child, she also wrestles with a legacy far more precious and poignant--her passion for her baby's famous, forbidden and perfect father.
