Baby in a Million

I been looking forward to reading this book and this series of The Big Event And I enjoy the story the characters are telling me too.

Cord McKnight doesn't understand why his wife left him, they were having problems in their marriage, but not enough to have her leave without a word from her and file for a divorce. Ashley is very insecure, she was an orphan, and from not having a family she has a extremely low self esteem. Cord's step-mother Sheila is so determined to be Cord's lover, she is willing to lie, cheat, steal and even break up his marriage to have him. But everytime she thinks she has done enough to get Cord to be with her, he slips through her fingers. But Sheila finds Ashley an easy target to tell lies to her, so she can hurt her over and over. Until one day Sheila is in Cord's room after he has been with Ashley, and she looks like she just came out of the ensuite shower. She yells for Cord to come back to bed, but in reality Cord isn't even in the house. The thing is Cord trusts Ashley even though he was told by a doctor he couldn't have children, he never questions who the father of Ashley's baby is. From the back of the book: 'Cord and Ashley McKnight are proud to announce the birth of their son Cabe. Weight: nine pounds four ounces Height: twenty-three inches long... The doctors had told Cord McKnight he would never father a child. The doctors had been wrong. For on his last night with Ashley, a miracle had accurred-a milion-to-one chance...And now it seemed his estranged wife was nine months pregnant! Only, Ashley had walked out on Cord for good reason. She had neer doubted that Cord would make a perfect father-it was his skills as a husband she'd begun to doubt. All the evdence suggested that he was having an affair. But Cord was determined to hold on to his newfound family, even if it meant holding out for another miracle-getting his wife back!'
