Train Me Daddy

I nodded.

“Would you like to know the sex?”

I nodded. “Oh, yes,” I said. “Please.”

Marie grinned. “Hey, Dad, why don’t you come over here,” she said, gesturing for Thomas to stand by my side and hold my hand. “This is usually a very happy moment.”

Thomas grinned. “It certainly is for me.”

Thomas laced his fingers with mine and squeezed. I yelped in surprise as Marie began to move the ultrasound device over my swollen belly.

“It’s cold,” I whimpered.

“Poor baby,” Thomas said. He kissed my forehead. “I love you,” he whispered, too quietly for Marie to hear.

“I love you,” I mouthed back at Thomas.

“Okay!” Marie grinned and looked triumphant. “Here it is, the final moment. Ready to know?”

Tears welled up in my eyes and my face flushed bright red.

“Yes, please,” I said.

“Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. March,” Marie said. “You’re having a little girl!”

I shrieked in delight as tears streamed down my face. Thomas and I kissed and he held me close.

“Are you happy?” I whispered.

“I’ve never been happier,” Thomas said. He grinned.

I smiled. All of the anxiety and tension I’d been feeling melted away from my body and I relaxed against the bed.

Somehow, things had ended absolutely perfect. I couldn’t wait for us to welcome our new daughter. And while a part of me was slightly nervous about how a baby would change our family, I knew deep down that everything would be wonderful.

Second Chance

Blurb

Beverley Wade has always been a nerd. In college, she had eyes only for her books and the campus heartthrob, Grant Jennings. Grant was not only a fantasy for her but was way out of her league and also was her biggest competitor. By the time college was over, Beverley was relieved that she wouldn’t have to deal with her conflicting emotions for Grant any longer.

But when her start-up tech company in Silicon Valley faces financial disaster, the highly successful Grant Jennings swoops in to buy her off. Not only is Beverl

ey furious that her old rival wants to buy her company, but it seems like suddenly he can’t keep his hands off her either.

Can Beverly trust Grant? Or, will Grant’s chiseled body and dreamy eyes be too hard for Beverly to resist?

Chapter 1

Beverley

I looked on either side before crossing the road, safety first! Even though my mind was whirling with thoughts and I couldn’t concentrate on a single thing, I could still walk to my office blindfolded. I knew these streets like the back of my hand. I couldn’t fathom what it would feel like, to not go to that office any more. I’d dedicated the past four years of my life to it. Building up the company from scratch, working weekends to ensure that we might be able to finally break even. I had poured my blood and sweat and soul into it, and just when I thought that I just might be able to make it…my accountant told me that the company was going under, that I wouldn’t be able to pay my employees and the only way out would be to sell the company while I still could.

This was an absolute nightmare. I was walking to the office, but I might as well have been a ghost, because I wasn’t thinking any more. What was I supposed to do now? Get a job? I’d been self-employed since college.

From the moment I graduated, I made plans of starting my own company. The tech industry was reaching its peaks and I had an idea for a mobile game. I moved to Silicon Valley, rented a small apartment and converted it into an office. I wrote the code for the app myself and within the first three months, it had reached a thousand downloads on various app stores. I hired employees, I set up a separate office space and we worked tirelessly to ensure its success.
