I love Christmas, so this book was extra fun for me to write. Expecting Santa was the original title, however, when it was published the title was changed to Open in Nine Months. Now that I have the rights back, I have re-released the book under its original title.

I enjoyed this story. I felt the story ended somewhat abruptly but the story was fun and enjoyable.

What are the chances that the man who is the father of her unborn child would move to her town when she was seven months pregnant with his child...and she never told him anything?
Joy and Sam had a relationship Sam ran away from once his ex-wife came back on the scene. She never contacted him, never told him about the pregnancy. When Sam and his daughter show up in "her" small town, it's a chance to try again and be a good father. Spoiler alert.. it's not that easy! But over time ...?
A sweet love story that is perfect for Christmas or anytime.
