Baby of Convenience

Laura Michaels believes the wealthy are "a breed unto themselves. Contemptuous, self-indulgent. Cruel. But when her mama cat Maggie takes up residence in her neighbor's wine cellar, she has no choice to knock at the door, baby on hip, to reclaim her erring beast. The richest, most powerful man in town, Royce Burton owns and operates Burton Enterprises. When he learns of Laura's living conditions--unexpected unemployment, living with a friend in crowded trailer, escalating lawyer fees and potential bankruptcy--he can't help feeling compassion. Any book with a baby, a mama cat, and five kittens is a sure fire hit with this reviewer. It takes great courage to track that many characters, especially when the author gives each kitten their own roguish personality! Further, Whitney presents credible, fun characters with flair, carefully balancing Laura's misgivings of those who are wealthy with Royce's fears of losing power and status. Consequently, BABY OF CONVENIENCE is a keeper, with enough laughs to keep the most jaded romance reader happy.
