Deanne Anders - The Surgeon's Baby Bombshell

One life-changing night...

One longed-for family!

He’s gorgeous, dedicated and completely uncompromising! But Dr. Frannie Wentworth knows pediatric surgeon Ian Spencer’s challenging demeanor hides a wealth of pain. And after one heartrending shift on the children’s ward encourages Ian to reveal the grief of losing his son, the friction between them fades...leaving Frannie pregnant! She’s always longed to be a mom, but can she help Ian believe he deserves to embrace fatherhood again?

DEANNE ANDERSwas reading romance while her friends were still reading Nancy Drew, and she knew she’d hit the jackpot when she found a shelf of Harlequin Presents in her local library. Years later she discovered the fun of writing her own. Deanne lives in Florida, with her husband and their spoiled Pomeranian. During the day she works as a nursing supervisor. With her love of everything medical and romance, writing for Mills & Boon Medical Romance is a dream come true.

This book is dedicated to all the mental health nurses,

like my daughter Jennifer, who have dedicated their

lives to caring for their patients. Thank you for

making a difference in the lives of both your patients

and your community.

Also, I would like to thank my husband, who

supported me when I came home one day and

told him I was quitting my job and going to nursing

school. Without so much as the blink of an eye you

told me to go for it and supported me all the way

through. I couldn’t have done it without you.
