The Mom Squad #4
Beauty and the Baby / Si Cantik Dan Bayinya
Lori O'Neill tak menyangka bahwa ia telah mencium kakak iparnya! Mungkinkah keagresifannya disebabkan hormon yang meningkat akibat kehamilannya? Kini, di matanya Carson O'Neill jadi tampak berbeda daripada beberapa waktu yang lalu. Ternyata lelaki bukanlah patung batu, yang keras dan dingin...
Carson pun terkejut. Mengapa ia jadi terhanyut oleh ciuman Lori? Tak seharusnya ini terjadi. Lori adik iparnya, pantaskah itu? Bukankah ia harusnya melindungi wanita itu? Apalagi dia sedang hamil tua, tanpa suami pula.
Tapi memang diakuinya, Lori membawa kecerahan dalam hidupnya yang sepi sejak ia bercerai. Wanita mungil itu riang, optimis, pengabdiannya pada anak-anak di gelanggang yang dikelolanya tak tanggung-tanggung, dan... cantik. Bibirnya lembut... Ah, ke mana harus dialihkannya pikirannya dari wanita itu? Padahal ia tahu, di balik keriangannya Lori membutuhkan tempat bersandar, menghadapi kehidupannya di masa mendatang bersama bayi yang akan dilahirkannya...

aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

Chemistry antara Lori dan Carson entah kenapa rasanya tidak terbangun dengan baik. Carson-nya sok jual mahal jg. Akhirnya ceritanya nyaris flat
