"You have a couple options here, abort, adopt, or keep the baby." I mentally scoffed at how inconsiderate the doctor was being, considering he wasn't facing me and his face was still emerged in my file. "Can I have some time to think?" The doctor mumbled something and I strained my ears to hear. "Excuse me, sir?" "I said, make an appointment with the front desk. Have a nice day Ms. Lawrence." The doctor got up and walked out of the room and I sat there skocked for a little bit. I was actually pregnant. A child was growing inside of me, but I couldn't support it. I was barely survivng with my best friend Holli and a baby was going to be our downfall, and I definitely wouldn't kill my baby. That wasn't even a choice for me. "Adoption it is." I mumbled as I tugged my blouse down and left the bland OBGYN office. *** Micah Lawrence is struggling. Her bills are almost overdue and her grades are slipping, but the kicker is finding out she's pregnant. She's at the end of her road and has no clue what to do anymore, but maybe there is still hope. She meets Michael Tucker at the office one day and that is the day here life changes. Can Micah finally overcome her dilemma and find a good family for her baby? Or will the 9 month attachment be too difficult for her to let her baby go? (** means its edited)

***A WATTPAD FEATURED NOVEL Dec 1st, 2015*** EVA TURNER's a single-mom in witness protection hoping to start over and establish lifelong roots on Haven Island. But things get complicated when her small-scale photography business goes viral. MARSHALL DAVIES is a world-weary investigative journalist (suffering PTSD) with his eye on a coveted promotion that will get him out of the field (and line of fire). He's exposed terrorists and slippery politicians; a single-mother should be child's play. While passion blooms, and her past closes in, Eva has to somehow elude the spotlight (and charismatic Marshall) or risk losing not only her new life/identity, but custody of her girls. OUT OF FOCUS was a Top 10 finalist in Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest for 2015 . In January 2016, RT Book Reviews deemed OOF as one of the Top 3 books on Wattpad and an excerpt was also recently featured in Cosmopolitan's online magazine.(February 2016). *** Dedicated to anyone who is or has walked in Eva's shoes. I hope you've found your Haven. (And Marshall!!) :) All rights belong to the author and no reproductions are allowed without express permission from @FallonDeMornay.

Author Note: If you have already read my story 'The Northman's Bride', this is the same story with no changes or edits. I have written a full length novel, book 3 in my Sons of the North series and have decided to use the title 'The Northman's Bride' for it. I apologize for any confusion. What would you do with only a few days left to live? Would you do throw your pride aside and dare to love? Aleksi has lived his life by the motto that woman were to be worshiped, not understood, much like religion. Now, one of the last two survivors on a plague ship, he has begun to wonder if he hasn't missed out on enjoying the comfort that a charming young wife might have brought him. Wounded in a recent battle, Commander Aleksi Ekstrom awakens on the Norrland ship to discover the priest's ward, a young French woman, locked below deck in a cabin of dead nuns, all other passengers and crew lay dead or dying of what looks like plague. Feeling fevered, yet unwilling to surrender her life just yet, Mimi has the forty-day ship quarantine to live her final days to the full. Her sole wish is to not die a virgin. Promised to the church since birth, she always knew she'd be a terrible nun, and so apparently had the evil priest that was selling her to a warlord in Estonia, where the ship had been heading before contracting the deadly plague. Anchored off the coast of Sweden, the quarantined plague ship is well supplied by Aleksi's grieving father and Jarl Magnus, who generously provides his loyal commander with anything requested, grateful to Aleksi for years of brave, loyal service to Tronscar. Aleksi and Mimi toss social restraints aside and speak openly and honestly, holding nothing back, both desiring to live out their final days with no regrets. But, if they survive the quarantine what then, will Aleksi return to his old life and will Mimi be returned to the warlord she was promised? **Adult content.**

Stormy-Rain and Marcus are polar opposites: she's a free-spirited, Tarot card reading, rainbow-haired hippie; he wears a suit and tie, and over-shines his already too-shiny shoes.

But Fate believes in them...So what happens when their worlds collide and disaster strikes? When they're thrown together under strange circumstances and embark on an epic road trip to catch a plane to a wedding a long way from home? The clock is ticking...and they are seriously ticking each other off. But they're about to discover just how thin the line is between love and hate.

Dorian Stones has a problem. Better yet, he has two: barely any money and no place to live. The pressure of adult life is pushing down on his soul like a ton of bricks, and the extra person that depends on him only adds to that pressure. But he's too stubborn to exchange London for his childhood home back in Los Angeles and too damn proud to let his parents help him in the financial department. At wits end, Dorian opts to rent the basement of a brewery turned house in the heart of the city. Little did he know, he would be living under one roof with an incarnated Irish myth. * * * * * * * * * This is a Daddy Unknown spinoff. As regards to the plot, romance is the only similarity. NOTE: this story will be on hold, probably until I finish The Song Of The Wolf.
