Her New Year Baby Surprise Sue Mackay

A New Year's Eve one-night stand wasn't supposed to change everything. But Emma Hayes is pregnant, and the father is her best friend's brother — charming orthopedic surgeon Abby Carpenter, who she's been secretly crushing on for years. Now they're navigating unexpected parenthood, lingering attraction, and the question of whether a baby is enough to build a relationship on — or if they're brave enough to try for something real. Sue Mackay writes contemporary medical romance with heart, delivering the kind of emotional stakes and workplace chemistry that keeps you turning pages. If you're after a sweet, low-angst romance with a surprise baby trope and genuine warmth, this hits the spot.
