Cathy GillenThacker - Their Inherited Triplet - Secret elopement.
The book describes the story of three orphaned babies and the life-changing impact of bringing them into their family.
This book is about three baby boys who are abandoned by their mother, and taken into legal guardianship by a single father. The father is Sam Kirkland, who has just lost his wife in a tragic accident. He wants to give these children a chance at a new life and helps them adapt to their new home. However, the father soon finds himself falling for Lulu McCabe, the woman he married before the accident occurred. She has always had a thing for Sam and they rekindle the feelings of their time together before going their separate ways. Will they succeed in building a loving family together and how will this relationship affect their relationships with the children they now have custody of?
Three baby boys…Lambs to be shepherded.
Lulu’s heart had fled by the time Katie hitched up her wedding gown. The strain of failing to have one’s life all together would have been enough to freeze a cooing pair—but now her misery was multiplied three times over. Not only was Lulu so very sick of being an unmarried person, but she was now destined to be a _caregiver_, as if her loss hadn’t been enough of a debacle. And the love-swept Katie in her white cream gown thought she could get a good doctorate by writing her own doctoral dissertation. Lulu wanted only to stare at nothing — the useless heat-baked dust below her white heels, the piping snail dragging his pebbly shell across Louise Thompson’s garden path.
She let hugs of geeky enthusiasm flop off her like pairs of pajamas outgrown. She didn’t want this. She honestly couldn’t care less. Just two months ago she’d been au courant with her collection of Grandpa Li’s obituaries, imagining herself slipping into the same swiftly fading burlap rags that she squabbled for her twenty-third birthday: one blissful sweep of eyelids, dazed exclamation; slow black hair, doak and tuft; swift dog-fence run; second edit, page 32… _Veiled in drab, he announces, “Regrets exist to give our sorry souls a place to mourn”_. But in a sudden flash of insight (who knew mere affinities could be so powerful) Lulu had realized: _I’m not sorry_, she told herself. I have my kids and my books and I have Donna and Emma and they all love me. All Love, everywhere, mind. Don’ta even think of it, feisty punk. You’ve got work—and maybe someday, a little bit of life. Her "just a question" from the hospital phone booth had completely changed everything. Three babies. On her doorstep. No longer just her friend Katie. Hers, too. She bought a battered sh word mat while moonshotting on the honorary_single mom bus_ to Swallow Hall. Later, when she confessed to her almost incoherent Mike Tabbott, _Never thought they’d offer my quilt*’, she meant it about three, three times._
In fact she guffawed softly to herself, once again, standing in the Negro Santa Barbara mix of fragrant room-pinkes and lemon-greenish _Symphonias_. Hard work and raw passion hugged her with surprising and unexpected warmth. It took the thickness out of desperation, its full-tussling weight lurking underneath the yellow linens and the lemon-stained Madbay crayons, but hey, heaven knew she wasn’t going senile on her seventeenth birthday. If it brought light, joy, and a sense of rightness, well then, welcomes merrit hepcatitude.
Three baby boys And a second chance at life… Lulu McCabe's secret eloping with Sam Kirk land had n't even started, and now he's back—as legal guardians of three orphaned children—with a tantalizing proposal.
