‘Teresa Carpenter’s HER BABY, HIS PROPOSAL makes an oft-used premise work brilliantly through skilled plotting, deft characterisation and just the right amount of humour.’

The baby sat up in Nikki’s arms and looked at his father, almost as if he understood what they were talking about. He couldn’t, of course, but tone and undercurrents were strong in the air. He probably felt the tension pulsing through the room.
She bounced him in her arms. “He likes me.”
“I can see that.” Trace’s eyes flared bright and hard as emeralds. “But we agreed we aren’t compatible.”
“True.” She inclined her head, keeping her features blandly innocent. “But we’re adults. Surely we can compromise for a few hours while I help you out in a difficult situation?”
“I don’t know how long I’ll be.”
“It doesn’t matter. I can stay as long as you need me.” And he did need her.
Dear Reader
Family is such a big part of my life, and I take joy in bringing that closeness to the characters in my stories. My new nephew is so good with his baby girl; I love to watch them together. Nothing is more touching than a strong man holding a defenceless baby with gentle devotion.
In SHERIFF NEEDS A NANNY a man of moral and physical strength struggles to find the emotional depth to connect with his baby boy when he’s forced to take on the boy’s care. Luckily the nanny he hires knows just what father and son need to bring them together. I wish you joy in their journey.
Teresa Carpenter
Teresa Carpenter believes in the power of unconditional love, and that there’s no better place to find it than between the pages of a romance novel. Reading is a passion for Teresa—a passion that led to a calling. She began writing more than twenty years ago, and marks the sale of her first book as one of her happiest memories. Teresa gives back to her craft by volunteering her time to Romance Writers of America on a local and national level. A fifth generation Californian, she lives in San Diego, within miles of her extensive family, and knows with their help she can accomplish anything. She takes particular joy and pride in her nieces and nephews, who are all bright, fit, shining stars of the future. If she’s not at a family event you’ll usually find her at home—reading, writing, or playing with her adopted Chihuahua, Jefe.
