The Baby Contract
by Nan Reinhardt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She wants a baby…he wants a family
Firefighter
and paramedic Tierney Ashton has always been a bold adventurer, but at
thirty-four she longs to embark on a new adventure—motherhood. But who will be
the father? Although financially challenging, a sperm bank appears to be her
best option. That is, until she shares her dream with her long-time pal,
Brendan Flaherty.
Government
analyst and world traveler Brendan Flaherty returns home to River’s Edge to
help out at his family’s thriving winery and his brother’s new community
theater. He also plans to finally achieve his lifelong goal of writing a novel.
But when Tierney shares her wish, Bren offers to be her baby daddy—with one
condition. Marriage.
It seems like a perfect contract, but will love get in the way?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Sean
scowled, then acquiesced. “I don’t blame you.” He licked his fingers and
wandered over to the wall full of photos that Brendan had hung earlier that
morning. “Wow! Is that you on the Great Wall of China?”
Bren
nodded, his mouth full of bread and cheese.
“And
where is this?” Sean pointed to a black-and-white photo of Brendan standing in
front of a huge clock.
Brendan
swallowed. “Prague. That’s the world’s oldest astronomical clock. Amazing,
isn’t it?”
Sean’s
brow furrowed as he scanned the display of more than a dozen photos from places
all across the globe—some that were obvious—Moscow, London, Paris, Tokyo—and
some that Bren was sure Sean wouldn’t recognize, like Zagreb, Croatia, and
Podgorica in Montenegro. “Good God, Bond, all those times you said you were ‘on
travel,’ we had no idea you were all over the damn globe. Conny, Ace, come
check these out.”
Bren
grinned. “You never asked where I was going.”
“We
weren’t sure we were allowed to ask.” Aidan rose from the table to amble over
to the photo wall. “Who knew? If you’d told us, you might have had to kill us.”
He peered at a framed photo of Bren standing in front of an ornate palace, his
arm around an attractive brunette. “Who’s this and where are you?”
Bren
stood and carried Griff, who was still gnawing on a chunk of bread, over to his
brothers. “Oh, that’s Agent 99, we’re in front of Bojnice Castle in Slovakia.”
He said, working hard not to crack a smile. . He couldn’t help being rather
proud of his perfect Slovak pronunciation, particularly since it clearly
impressed his gaping brothers. Because of the research and analysis work he did
for several government agencies, he’d mastered, at last count, seven different
languages, but that wasn’t something he boasted about. It was simply part of his
job.
Sean
stared at him over the top of his glasses while Conor looked askance and said,
“Oh, sure, of course it is.”
“Agent
99?” Aidan chortled. “You’re kidding, right?”
Bren
just smirked. They were so convinced he was a spy, it was a kick to tease them.

AUTHOR BIO:
Nan Reinhardt is a USA
Today-bestselling author of romantic fiction for women in their prime. Yeah,
women still fall in love and have sex, even after 45! Imagine! She is a wife, a
mom, a mother-in-law, and a grandmother. Nan has been a copyeditor and
proofreader for over 25 years, and currently works on romantic fiction titles
for a variety of clients, including Avon Books, St. Martin’s Press,
HarperCollins, Kensington Books, Tule Publishing, and Entangled Publishing, as
well as for many indie authors.
Although
she loves her life as an editor, writing is Nan’s first and most enduring
passion. She can’t remember a time in her life when she wasn’t writing—she
wrote her first romance novel at the age of ten, a love story between the most
sophisticated person she knew at the time, her older sister (who was in high
school and had a driver’s license!), and a member of Herman’s Hermits. If you
remember who they are, you are Nan’s audience! Her latest series, the Four
Irish Brothers Winery series is available from Tule Publishing and all book
retailers. Books 1 through 3 are currently available; Book 4 releases July 16,
2020 and is available for preorder.
Visit
Nan’s website at www.nanreinhardt.com, where you’ll find links to all her books
as well as blogs about writing, being a Baby Boomer, and aging
gracefully…mostly. Nan also blogs every third Tuesday at Word Wranglers,
sharing the spotlight with five other romance authors, is a frequent
contributor the RWA Contemporary Romance blog, and she contributes to
the Romance University blog where she writes as Editor Nan.
