Shower of Stars

Series: Standalones, Book 2

Charlotte “Charlie” Berglund wants a child…desperately. When her adoption caseworker concludes that being a traveling journalist is not compatible with single parenthood, Charlie realizes she must change her profession. She decides to write a book about New York’s hottest new celebrity: Jack Lanett, meteorite hunter extraordinaire.

Unfortunately, her subject is uncooperative. Jack hates being front-page news but he’s found what may be the most valuable space rock in the world: a potentially life-bearing meteorite from Mars. Publicity will drive up the price so he agrees to one disastrous interview.

Charlie offers Jack a business proposition; he counters with a most unusual proposal.
