Kristina is pregnant, but doesn't understand how that is possible.
She had not been in an intimate relationship with a guy for a long time. The
only possibility she can offer is a company cruise she had attended where someone
may have slipped her a date rape drug. While attempting to hide her embarrassing
experience she hooks up with Shawn, the head of her father's company security
for answers.
Shawn has his own secrets; his mother was told to have an
abortion when his father took off. When she disobeyed his grandfather, who is
the CEO of Lyon International, and the company Shawn now works for, he had made
his and his mother's life miserable until she died. Only then was Shawn allowed
back into the company business, but he had to keep the connection to his
grandfather a secret to avoid a scandal that could ruin the company.
As Shawn helps Kristina to make the right decision for the
baby, he hunts for the rapist. Since most of the men on the cruise where older
men and members of the board of directors, Shawn has to proceed cautiously.
That is, until the threats become violent and her life comes in danger. If the
rapist can't convince her to have an abortion, he planned to have her killed.
Time was now of the essence in finding out who this was.

Despite all Dean’s hang-ups and mental baggage, he eventually does marry another woman. And for twenty years his wife, Maddy Frances, remains so giving (and forgiving) she deserves to be canonized a living saint.

A hilarious and romantic thirty-something novel about a women who leaves her philandering husband to embark on a very alternative voyage of self-discovery.
When Julia's husband has an affair with local siren Rhiannon de Laney, she feels as if her world is falling apart. Once the arguments have abated, and her husband has moved out, Julia realises she's well and truly on her own, a single parent with two teenage children, a bad haircut and no idea of what to do or where to go next.
Gradually, however, Julia begins to recognise the benefits of being single: it's the chance to meet new people and make new friends, change her hairstyle, throw out her old clothes, experiment with a new image, resurrect her photography career, travel the country with a boy band and, in short, rediscover herself outside the context of loyal wife and dutiful mother.
She also rediscovers the joys of dating. After a few false starts, she finds herself learning more about the talents, musical and otherwise, of the lead singer of Britain's most famous band. Julia's certainly got herself a life you wonder whether it is the kind of existence she wants to live permanently, or whether her ailing marriage is worth saving.
Light-hearted, humorous and at times surprising, Julia's battles with this age-old dilemma prove instantly recognisable yet highly entertaining, with a twist in the tale that may surprise or perplex.
