The Baby Plan
by Joan Carney
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
itch of ‘baby lust’ has prickled just under the surface of Tessa’s skin since
she turned thirty. Five years have passed since her thirtieth birthday, and her
obsessive nature has stoked the minor irritation into a full-blown fertility
frenzy. She’s given up waiting for the right man to put a ring on her finger
and, instead, decides to actively seek out a man with the right genes who will
give her the child she wants with no further involvement. Love wasn’t in the
plan, but Karma had other ideas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“I’m
going to have a baby.” Spoken out loud for the first time, those words sent a
rush of adrenaline through her veins. Warmth swelled from her heart as the
vision that had taken center stage in her dreams for the last five years,
captured the spotlight in her mind’s eye. Her arms circled her own body, aching
to cradle that bundle of cooing softness.
Owen’s
fork remained suspended in mid-air inches from his open mouth, his face frozen
and pale blue eyes wide and staring. It took a moment for him to regain his
composure enough to speak.
“You’re
what? Are you sure?” He shook his head, put his fork down and rested his back
against the seat. Tessa was sure the incoherent mumbles that followed were a
litany of swear words, but she stayed calm.
His
gaze scoured the ceiling as his voice groped for a public-appropriate response.
“How did this happen, Tess? You, of all people. I can’t believe you’d let
yourself get into this predicament. You never told me you were seeing anyone. Who
is he? Does he know? Are you in love with him?”
Tessa
shook her head to focus as much as to explain. “No, no I’m not pregnant now. I
mean I plan to get pregnant.”
Her
breath stilled then released as the panicked expression on Owen’s face softened
to one of mere annoyance. But she wasn’t out of the woods yet. She’d only
started to lay out her plan. Stalling for time, Tessa pushed the chopped
antipasto salad around the plate with her fork.
“I’ve
been thinking about this for a long time, Owen, and I’ve made up my mind. You
only need you to back me up when it comes time to tell Mom.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AUTHOR BIO:
A
transplant from the concrete sidewalks of New York City to the sunny beaches of
Southern California, Ms.
Carney enjoys
writing stories about women who are strong—whether by nature or
circumstance—and the men who love and respect them for who they are. Things
that make her happy are rainy days (too much sun is a bore), writing the
perfect first line, family get-togethers, reading books that grab her heart,
and finding new connections in her genealogy research. Bold coffee and dark
chocolate fuel the artistic fire inspired by her family, friends, and psycho,
lizard hunting cat.
