Their Royal Baby Gift (Christmas at Harrington Park Hotel, #2)

Can two strangers...

...become one family?

Designer Sally Harrington falls--literally!--into the arms of a handsome stranger. And, after one spontaneous night, Sally's life changes forever... She's pregnant! But there's another shock to come. Her mystery man turns out to be Prince Edward of Tianlipin! As their two worlds collide and family duty threatens the magic this pair share...there may be one more Christmas surprise coming their way...

MY REVIEW: An unexpected meeting between two strangers sparks an undeniable electric connection in author Kandy Shepherd's "Their Royal Baby Gift (Christmas at the Harrington Park Hotel #2)". After her family wins a battle to regain ownership of London's renowned Harrington Park hotel, designer Sally Harrington travels to Singapore for a much-needed break and to also gather inspiration or adding new life to the hotel. One idea slated for the Harrington Park makeover was the addition of a roof-top garden. While lost in photographing a hotel with just such a garden, Sally trips and falls into the hotel pool. Never a very good swimmer. Sally is rescued from her splashing and struggles by a most handsome and charming gentleman. For reasons of his own, Edward Chen had tried to keep a low profile during his stay in Singapore, but he couldn't ignore a damsel in distress. Sally, who had also tried to remain incognito while doing her research, quickly agrees to Edward's suggestion that they retreat to his hotel suite to recover from their watery adventure. A companionable evening of food and conversation soon becomes much more--a night of soaring passion--a night that could only happen once, with no commitment. After leaving without saying goodbye, five weeks later Sally is back in Singapore. Shocked to find out that she is pregnant, she is further jolted to discover that Edward is not just a telecommunications mogul, he is Prince Edward of Tianlipin! Sally attends a charity event where she knows Edward will make an appearance, and he is stunned to see his beautiful mermaid--Sally, the woman he can't forget. A second meeting the two confirms the chemistry between them, and Sally reveals her pregnancy to Edward. There are great obstacles to overcome for a chance for a happy family and a future together. Sally has promised to help her family save their hotel and their heritage. Edward is honor-bound to his family and his country--and his prearranged engagement to a royally-suitable young woman he's only met twice is soon to be announced. There are cultural and home base issues to consider as well--and scandal is to be avoided if at all possible. With the holidays approaching, emotions and hopes run high--will there be a Christmas miracle for Sally and Edward? Author Kandy Shepherd has written another wonderful contemporary love story that will touch the heart of readers, and they will also enjoy the other two books in the series: "Christmas Reunion in Paris" by Liz Fielding, and "Stolen Kiss with Her Billionaire Boss" by Susan Meier.

She won the hotly contested RUBY award from RWA for best short romance novel of the year with Conveniently Wed to the Greek (her May 2017 release from Harlequin Mills & Boon).

Kandy's holiday story from Harlequin Romance is the Christmas-themed GREEK TYCOON'S MISTLETOE PROPOSAL (November 2016).

Two stand-alone romances from Harlequin Romance were published in 2015--HIRED BY THE BROODING BILLIONAIRE (August 2015) and FROM PARADISE TO...PREGNANT! (June 2015.)

Kandy's Dolphin Bay trilogy for Harlequin Romance is now complete--each book can be enjoyed separately but continuing characters all link to the Morgan family. THE SUMMER THEY NEVER FORGOT is the first (February 2014). It is followed by THE TYCOON AND THE WEDDING PLANNER (July 2014) and A DIAMOND IN HER STOCKING (December 2014).

As well as her titles published by both Harlequin and Berkley Sensation, Kandy is the author of the e-book romances THE CASTAWAY BRIDE (an Amazon best-seller) and SOMETHING ABOUT JOE; and the contemporary women's fiction title, REINVENTING ROSE.

REINVENTING ROSE, was inspired by her Kandy's years working as an editor in women's magazines, in particular the reader makeovers she enjoyed so much. REINVENTING ROSE is about love, friendship and the magic of a makeover.

SOMETHING ABOUT JOE is a heartwarming love story. The hero is hot, smart, great with kids, and he can cook--what's not to love about Joe Martin? But stressed-out executive and single mom, Allison Bradley, fights it all the way when she finds herself falling in love with her little boy's new nanny. Joe is one of Kandy's favorite heroes--he actually came to her in a dream!

Kandy's Amazon bestseller, THE CASTAWAY BRIDE, is a sexy, unashamedly escapist romance about a runaway bride who is shipwrecked on a tropical island with a mysterious stranger.

LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD, Kandy's debut novel for Berkley Sensation, is a romantic comedy set in San Francisco about a little dog who inherits a big fortune and the people he brings together.

Kandy's second book for Berkley Sensation, HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS, is a tale of romance, mystery and dogs. It's a follow-on book from LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD, and tells the story of Serena, the heroine's best friend in the first book. HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS is a stand-alone story that can be enjoyed without reading the first book.
