Not Through Loving You

A surprising romance blossoms after the arrival of an unwanted baby.

In a life-altering moment, Dr. Aaron Kendall becomes responsible for an unwanted premature baby boy when the preemie's mother gives him up. Feeling he and the baby are "meant to be" father and son, Aaron begins the adoption process. Then his joy plummets when Lia Montgomery, a singer/songwriter from Nashville, shows up unexpectedly at his house and shatters his plans when she claims she is the baby's aunt.

Shocked by her estranged sister's death and news of a baby, Lia hoped to find a lovely couple adopting her nephew—not a good-looking divorced doctor with no plans to remarry! She wants an ideal two-parent home for the baby, and she challenges Aaron's ability to provide such a home.

Aaron decides to prove he is the best choice for the sickly infant, which paves the way for a steamy romance neither he nor Lia had anticipated. As Lia faces a looming crisis in her music career, Aaron knows she is the woman who'll inevitably break his heart.

In a story where love, family, and destiny come together, all bets are off on what is truly "meant to be."
