Lethal Confessions (55 page)

The doctor left and Luke turned to Amélie. Her eyes glistened with tears, but she had a joyous grin plastered on her face. He took her hands and pulled her close.

“Are you ready for this?” he murmured. “Ready to be a…” He trailed off, too anxious to say the word outright.

Her broad smile was tempered with a sweetness that pushed its way right to the center of his heart.

“To be a mom?’ she asked. “You know I can’t cook, and I’m not much of a housekeeper, either. And sometimes I’m about as cuddly as a porcupine. But if you and Alicia are willing to put up with those and other failings, I’m more than willing to give motherhood my best shot.”

He pulled her into a fierce embrace. “Your best shot is good enough for me, sweetheart.”

There wasn’t a single doubt in Luke’s mind that Detective Amélie Robitaille was going to hit that one out of the ballpark.

V.K. SYKES IS really two people - Vanessa Kelly and Randy Sykes, a husband and wife team who write sexy contemporary romance and romantic suspense. Randy excels at plot and characterization, but tends to fall down on the job when it comes to that pesky old thing called emotion. That's where Vanessa steps in. She usually writes the sex scenes too, since Randy is a bit uncomfortable when it comes to that sort of stuff. Vanessa also writes Regency-set historical romance for Kensington Zebra under her own name. You can find V.K. on the web at
