Thoughts of Burke Holden immediately came to mind along with the scene of his proposal here in her home just the day before. If she’d gotten her wish, he’d have asked her to marry him as if he really meant it. Not because she was his solution to a child-care problem. Now she was standing in the kitchen with her dad, Loretta Goodson beside him, her brothers and their families gathered around the big, granite-topped island. They were all waiting. Her father put his arm around the waist of the woman standing next to him. “I have an announcement to make.” “You’re pregnant,” Ben joked. His pretty blonde wife, Camille, stared at him in mock horror. “You’re a doctor. Remarks like that could start rumors that you skipped anatomy class.” “I’ve heard that rumor.” His older brother, Alex, elbowed him. “There’s another one currently circulating that he patched up a broken leg with Super Glue.”
