Karin Baine - Midwife Under The Mistletoe

A kiss under the mistletoe...

A family for Christmas?

GP Fraser McColl longs to be part of a loving family, but past experience has taught him he’s better off alone. Only, thrown together with gorgeous yet guarded midwife Iona Munro, to care for two children at Christmas, he’s tempted to believe in miracles... After one passionate night together, can he persuade Iona that they deserve a lifetime of happiness— together ?

“Both the main characters were riveting...Ms. Baine has delivered a wonderful read where the chemistry between this couple was intense....”

— Harlequin Junkie on Their Mistletoe Baby

“Ms. Baine brings these two truly lovely people together and both learn that together they can conquer anything. A very moving story you will truly enjoy.”

— Goodreads on From Fling to Wedding Ring
