‘But that could take ages, and you ought to be thinking up ideas for that now.’
‘Kelly, darling, look at what’s under your nose. I’ve just had the idea for the next book. Jake Lindley- House-husband. It’ll be a best-seller.’ His smile faded. ‘That’s the secondary consideration. The important thing is to be there for you. I failed you once. I swear I’ll never do it again.’
He leaned down to the cradle and scooped his son up into his arms. The baby was so tiny, but Jake seemed to adjust instinctively, and when he’d settled the child he looked into his face, receiving back a stare as direct and challenging as his own.

‘You meanie!’ Kelly protested. ‘He’ll be doing all the hard work.’
Jake grinned at her, with more real amusement in his face than she’d seen for weeks. At last the clouds were lifting from both their lives. Now they could see the way ahead, and it was flooded with light.
