Dr Kate Croft wants a child. But after being cheated on three times in a row, she is done with men and secures the sperm of platonic friend Hugo so she can have the baby on her own.
But while taking a month off to prepare for IVF, she meets Elias Beckingsale, the younger brother of an old friend. Elias is hot, charismatic, and completely inappropriate, and Kate can’t stay away.
After a steamy night together, Kate disappears, not wanting to sabotage her plans further, and guessing that Elias would be uninterested in a relationship with an older, soon-to-be-pregnant woman.
Elias Beckingsale is a mess. Despite having a successful career as a sculptor, he is estranged from almost his entire family. Choosing a career in art instead of medicine meant that his parents disowned him, and he’s always been happy to play the black sheep.
But that all changes when he meets Kate. Reconciling two years after a previous chance encounter, he realises he wants to be a better person for her.
However, Kate seems reluctant to engage….
…until she comes to him with a revelation that will change both their lives forever.

The Trouble With Series
I am a business owner, artist, cook, mother and wife. I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with my wonderful husband, two beautiful sons, a dog and a cat (both of which are female because, hey, we needed to balance all that testosterone!)
I am a ferocious reader with eclectic tastes and have always wanted to write, but never had the opportunity due to one reason or another (excuses, really) until finally taking the bullet between my teeth in 2014 and just making myself do it.
I love to write stories with heart and a message and believe in strong female characters who do not necessarily have to be aggressive to show their strength.
