Drew Blackwood’s seen his fair share of babies born—he just never imagined the next could be his own!
Veterinarian Drew is the only one of the four Blackwood brothers to have left Hickory Ridge for greener pastures. Though he adores the gentle, rolling mountains that cradle his family’s sprawling Virginia farm, his plans for the future don’t include a permanent return any time soon.
What they do include is accepting an offer of partnership at a prestigious equine facility in his adopted hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. If he’s lucky, he’ll even figure out how to persuade fellow veterinarian and sweetly sexy confidante Hope Logan to acknowledge the crackling chemistry between them, clearly evidenced by the single night of passion they shared weeks before.
But some surprises have a way of changing everything…
When a positive pregnancy test throws them both for a loop, Drew knows he needs to act quickly to keep Hope from bolting faster than one of the Thoroughbreds they treat. He convinces her to join him on an extended trip home to Hickory Ridge. There, amidst the warm embrace of the entire Blackwood family, the quaint holiday traditions of his youth, and his growing feelings for the mother of his child, Drew begins to accept a new certainty: the only future he truly cares about is one that includes Hope and their baby.
Can he convince her to take a leap into the unknown with him?

Be still my beating heart! What a lush of a story this is! I loved the story of Drew and Hope, it is some clean sweet romance and had all the Virgin River feels. My only complaint is I want to be back at Hickory Ridge right now! I loved my time there and I am not happy that it’s over already!!
I adored this story! Hope and Drew have a night of passion and it leads to some further consequences that they have both got to learn to deal with. Their story is a gorgeous one. It is swoon-worthy, and just a beauty to watch as it unfurls. I must admit it appealed to my softer side and it made my day when I read it. I started it and I pretty much read it in one sitting, as it was just a story I got completely on board with straight away. The writing wouldn’t let me give the book up, plus I didn’t want to. I felt like I was right there in the story, I was there decorating the Christmas tree, I was there on the sleigh, and I was there right there at the end, it was just awesome. I did feel some of the writing was a little repetitive in places, but you know what I loved the story that much, it didn’t even bother me, I noticed it but I was so involved in the story I just didn’t care.
I can’t wait for the next story in the series, I love books like this because you become invested. You find a family and you find people you want to be reading about, and I just can’t wait until I can be back at Hickory Ridge, back with the Blackwood family!
If you love Virgin River, I am telling you, you are going to LOVE this!
Until the next time xxx
