UNEXPECTEDLY EXPECTING!
She'd been his best friend's wife...then widow. And air force
pilot Ryan Itani has been enthralled with the very idea of Faith Holmes even
before they met. They say grief makes one do crazy things--well, chalk sleeping
with Faith as one of them. Then finding out she was carrying his baby... What was
a man of honor to do?
Bu Faith wasn't about to let him into her home, much less
her heart. If there was any chance to be a part of her and their child's life,
he needed to prove he wasn't just another carefree flyboy. Ryan had risked life
and limb before, but this was about to be the soldier's most important mission.

Ryan Itani set down the magazine that he hadn't really been reading and glanced around the waiting room of the veterinarian's office. He wondered for the hundredth time if he shouldn't have tried to call Faith Holmes before surprising her while she was at work. If he were honest with himself, he'd have to admit he was worried that if he had called, she would have made an excuse not to see him.
Not that he blamed her. After what had happened last Christmas Eve, he technically couldn't hold it against Faith if she avoided him like the plague for the rest of her life. It would have been one thing if he'd stuck to his original mission that night three months ago—drive the twenty miles from Harbor Town to Faith's country house and pay his respects to his friend Jesse's widow. He'd been on three tours of duty with Jesse, both of them having served as pilots in the Air Force 28th Fighter Wing. He'd always respected Jesse's wife, Faith, always liked her openness and kind heart, appreciated her funny, warm letters to Jesse while they'd both been stationed in Afghanistan.
If he'd also thought Faith was one of the most stunning women he'd ever met, and that Jesse didn't deserve her, given his tendency for womanizing and infidelity, Ryan had kept that to himself.
Or at least he had until Christmas Eve.
Behind a partition, a dog barked loudly and a woman let out a shriek of alarm, bringing Ryan's straying thoughts back to the present moment. Another dog joined in the fracas. He heard a calm but authoritative woman's voice and went still. Faith had somehow passed him in the partitioned-off area of the waiting room where he sat. There must be another door leading from the exam rooms to the waiting area.
"Please put Knuckles's leash in the shortest, locked position, Mrs. Biddle." Faith's voice floated above the two dogs' loud barking. "You really shouldn't bring Sheba into the office without her container, Mr. Tanner. You can't blame Ivy and Knuckles for getting excited, seeing a cat unprotected like that. Jane, can you show Mr. Tanner and Sheba back to the examination room right away?"
"Sheba hates that container," a man grumbled. "Sheba, come back—"
"Wait, Knuckles! Oh, dear!" a woman moaned.
Ryan heard a sound like omff and sprung up from his chair. Rushing around the partition wall, he saw a gray, short-haired cat zooming across the room toward him. He bent and scooped it up into his arms without thinking before it had a chance to tear behind the receptionist's desk. When he straightened, he saw Faith in profile wearing a white lab coat, a skirt and pumps, her long, curling, dark hair rippling around her shoulders as she tried to restrain a scrambling Dalmatian puppy.
"Oh, no, Faith!" a short, blond-haired woman cried as she raced around the receptionist's desk. "Put him down. You shouldn't be holding a big dog like that in your condition."
"It's okay, I'm fine," Faith managed to get out as she soothed the squirming puppy.
"Here, I have the leash. Stupid of me, I somehow disconnected him when I was trying to restrain him by the collar," a frazzled-sounding, gray-haired woman in her fifties said as she grabbed Knuckles's collar. She reaffixed the leash, and Faith bent to deposit Knuckles on the floor.
Someone tapped on his forearm and Ryan pulled his glued gaze off the vision of Faith. What had the receptionist meant when she'd said in your condition? Was Faith ill? he wondered anxiously. He handed Sheba-the-cat to a husky black man in his twenties, nodding once distractedly when the man offered his thanks.
Faith was giving the gray-haired woman a weary smile. "Just remember—shortest, locked position for the leash for future office visits, Mrs. Biddle." She touched her belly as if to reassure herself.
It was a timeless gesture, and one Ryan immediately recognized.
Lightening-quick reflexes were an absolute must for a fighter pilot, and Ryan was known for being one of the fastest responders. In that moment, however, he uncharacteristically froze. An iron hand seemed to have clutched at his lungs, making breathing impossible. A thousand images and memories swept past his awareness as if he were a drowning man. One seemed to linger on the screen of his mind's eye: Faith answering the front door on Christmas Eve, her long, curling hair spilling around the snowy white robe she wore, her smile radiant, her large green eyes shining with emotion.
Ryan, I'm so happy you came.
Jesse would have wanted me to look in on you, make sure you were safe and sound.
He'd done more than just make sure Jesse's widow was safe and sound, though. A hell of a lot more.
Faith looked around and saw him standing in the waiting room. The stretched seconds collapsed.
"Ryan," she exclaimed in a shocked tone. The receptionist and all the patrons in the waiting room turned to gape at him. "What are you doing here?"
"I flew in for business," he said shortly, referring to the new charter airline business he'd begun after leaving the Air Force last December. His gaze flickered downward over Faith's belly before he met her stare again. He'd forgotten how vividly green her eyes were.
"I think we'd better talk," he said.
She bit at her lower lip anxiously and took a step toward him. All the color had left her cheeks.
"Yes. I think we'd better."
Faith took off her lab coat and hung it on the hook behind the door of her private office. She cast a nervous glance at herself in the mirror mounted on the wall.
She couldn't believe Ryan was here. And he knew. Somehow he'd guessed about the baby. She'd seen the stunned realization in his dark eyes as they'd stood there in the waiting room.
She tried to smooth her waving, curling tresses—hopeless cause. She sufficed by pulling the mass up onto her head and clipping it in place. It was probably better to look a little more.. .professional for this meeting anyway, she told herself as she pulled a few coiling strands down to frame her face.
Ridiculous, the idea of being professional. Her relationship with Ryan might be described as "nearly nonexistent" or perhaps as "friendly acquaintances" or perhaps "odd" but hardly "professional." Not after Christmas Eve. Seeing him standing there, so tall, so commanding, so intense—it'd brought it all back. How he must be regretting that impulsive, inexplicable moment of blazing lust now.
Afterward he'd suggested they'd acted out of the emotional turmoil of their shared remembrance of Jesse's death in a chopper accident a year before. He'd also worried that their impulsive tryst had ruined the chances of him being there for her. As a friend.
A dull ache flared in her breast at the memory. It'd hurt, having Ryan say those things. Maybe it was true, that the incredible heat between them had been generated from an emotional backfire. She couldn't be sure what had happened on that night.
True, he'd been grieving the loss of her husband, in more than the obvious sense. She'd learned in a particularly painful way just months before his death that Jesse had been unfaithful. Yes, she'd been grieving his death, but not in the same way a woman would be if she'd been in a happy, trusting marriage.
Another thought had haunted her after she and Ryan had started to come back to their senses that night. Perhaps Ryan was like a lot of top guns, craving the next female conquest in the same way he might hunger for the jolt of adrenaline that comes from a faster jet?
Maybe Ryan was like Jesse.
She straightened her spine. None of that mattered now, she thought as she touched her stomach. She had more important things to consider—like the future of her unborn child.
Anxious but determined, Faith walked into the waiting room. The first thing she saw upon opening the door was Ryan. He sat facing her, his expression alert and stony. She met his gaze with effort.
His dark brown hair was short, but not military-short. It had started to grow out a bit since he'd become a civilian several months ago. His bangs fell onto his forehead, escaping the combed-back style. His lean jaw was dusted with whiskers. Although he looked entirely sober as he examined her, the lines that framed a firm, well-shaped mouth reminded her he was a man who liked to laugh.
When he wasn't still recovering from the shock of a lifetime, that is.
"Hi," Faith said shakily. She sensed an observant gaze and glanced behind the reception desk. Jane ducked her head and pretended to be utterly absorbed in the process of stuffing envelopes.
"We were able to clear about an hour and a half in my schedule, but I'm afraid we couldn't reach all of my patients' owners. I'm going to have to come back to work after we talk," she said nervously.
Ryan stood abruptly and came toward her. Funny—she'd only just left him in the waiting room forty-five minutes ago, but his height, his strength, his presence struck her anew. She found herself searching his features, trying to find some indication of what he was thinking or feeling. But Ryan wasn't known for being ice under pressure while performing complicated, dangerous flight maneuvers for nothing. Magnetically attractive and elementally male he might be, but she was learning he could be very difficult to read.
"Are you all right?" he asked tensely.
She blinked at the sound of his quiet, restrained tone. Perhaps he wasn't as impassive as she'd assumed.
"I'm fine. I'll explain everything." She waved toward the front door. She felt awkward and anxious. How did one go about telling a man that he was about to be a father? Not that the words really mattered. It was pretty clear to Faith that Ryan already guessed the result of that...

Nice ending to this series.
By SandyinAlabama
I have read and enjoyed every book in this series. The characters throughout have been likeable and ones that you could be invested in. This last story in the series was no different.
You really didn't get to know Ryan until this book, as he was deployed during most of the previous stories. He was mentioned throughout the series, but you actually didn't meet him until Deidre's story--and then not too much.
I liked Ryan and Faith a lot. They each had issues regarding Faith's first husband--who was also Ryan's good friend. Of course Ryan had guilt over his one-night stand with his friend's widow, and then to find out that he was going to be father when he came back to visit her several months later threw him for a loop. However, Ryan was a standup guy who when he found out Faith was pregnant from their first and only encounter decided to change his plans for his future so that he could be a father to his child. Of course Faith is shocked by what all Ryan is prepared to do, as she thought that he was a typical flyboy who craved constant excitement like her late husband. Needless to say Faith was hesitant, but eventually agreed to Ryan's plans.
This was a sweet and touching story, with some conflicts and misunderstandings of course that had to be resolved. Overall, this was a book that you could read and enjoy, and then have a good feeling about it when you finished it.
I would definitely recommend that you read the entire series from the beginning--you won't be disappointed.

sweet love
By Melissa A. Halliday
faith holmes is pregnant but, not by her dead husband. she was impregnated by
her husband's friend (ryan) during a night of wild,hot lovemaking. a few weeks
later,ryan and faith meet again and ryan discovers that faith is carrying his
child and wants to do right by her so,he asks her that they marry,"in name only"
which they do...ryan and faith are very attracted to eachother(ryan more so AND
no guilty feelings) but,faith feels scared and guilty(?),or,socially awkward(?) with
people wondering about her relationship with ryan and the unborn baby.
i enjoyed this story. both ryan and faith are very likeable and i love the scenes
where ryan wants to make love to faith so desperately,but she does not want to do that.
faith is holding back for her own reasons but,will she cave in and give ryan some
relief???? must read to find out people. the author's love scenes are lovely-very sensual.
