title: The Pregnancy Test
author:  Erin McCarthy 
description: Mandy Keeling is desperate. She has sold her toy shop, lost her boyfriend, and found out that she is pregnant. In search of a job with health insurance, she experiences a wave of morning sickness in the elevator on the way to an interview. Naturally, Damien Sharpton, known as the "Demon," the man with whom she has an appointment, is in the elevator with her. In spite of this inauspicious beginning, she gets the job and easily conceals her condition since they don't come into contact too often, developing instead, an electronic relationship that leads her to believe that Damien's reputation as an ogre is greatly exaggerated. Since Mandy is the first person to penetrate his tough exterior, he invites her along on a trip to the Caribbean and becomes more enthralled. Things aren't easy once they're back at the office, but love finds a way in this truly wonderful tale. This novel has it all: wit, charm, sensuality, and two of the most enjoyable, fascinating characters around. Readers will treasure McCarthy's unexpectedly tender romance. <i>Maria Hatton</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>

  Adam and Ryan on their way back.
  
  By the time the checker turned her attention to Jenna’s purchases, it was too
  late to ask her to ring up the pregnancy test separately. Adam and her son
  were within hearing distance. Maybe they wouldn’t notice it, she prayed, but
  lost all hope of that when the checker tried to run the package through the
  scanner and it wouldn’t beep. Frowning, the woman picked up her microphone.
  “Johnny? Would you get me the price of the First Choice Pregnancy Test? Aisle
  9, I think.”
  
  Jenna took a gulp of air and held it as Adam’s jaw dropped and his eyes flew
  to her face. She gave an uncomfortable laugh. “Where did that come from?” she
  asked. “That’s not mine.”
  
  The checker blinked at her. “You don’t want this?”
  
  “No, it’s no
