Left at the altar, Katie Jones is not only crushed, she's three months pregnant. Her no-good fiancé has run off on their honeymoon to Bermuda with his ex-girlfriend and married her! No clothes, no shoes, her wedding gown ruined in a foiled robbery attempt, Katie finds herself forced to move in with Neil Logan, the man she had always considered her brother. Neil Logan always looked on Katie as a little sister. His family took her in when her mother died and raised her as their own, but when Katie is left standing at the altar in her wedding finery, Neil comes to the rescue and offers to marry the very pregnant Katie. The marriage of convenience turns into something much more when Neil is injured in a stakeout and Katie's baby arrives too soon. Will the pair be able to overcome the memories of the past and find a future together? Another memorable story from the talented pen of Charlotte Hughes, MILLIONAIRE COP & MOM-TO-BE peeks into the society scions of Atlanta, yet shows readers that although people may be wealthy they still can live relatively normal lives. Heir to a magazine empire, Neil is a dedicated police officer, and Katie owns her own bookstore. It was so nice to read an "everyday story" where nobody is too tall, too rich, too beautiful…too anything. I especially enjoyed the scene where Katie first sees what she's going to look like nine months pregnant. It was hilarious! Readers won't want to miss MILLIONAIRE COP & MOM-TO-BE. Fans of Charlotte Hughes will want to be on the lookout for her September MIRA release, HOT SHOT. Judith Rippelmeyer
