I don't generally like babies in my romances. But there are always exceptions, and this is one of them. The Baby Contract is a Harlequin romance from 1996, but you can see their trademark suspense even then. The heroine is pregnant and is abandoned by her boyfriend after he robs a convenience store. She's arrested and given a deal by the county attorney's office, who wants to use her to stop a baby-selling ring. What makes it shine is some really nice characterization, especially for a category romance.

Soft-mystery, touch of adventure, great suspense-romance

Bettie is pregnant and abandoned by her ex-beau after he holds up a store. Greg is an investigator for the county who offers her a way out, a dangerous way. He has been trying to nail the leaders of a baby-selling ring. To avoid charges and to earn funds to pay for her baby and herself, she agrees to work as bait.This story starts and stops a bit in the beginning. But it isa terrific suspense romance with realistic characters and a shinny ending. I highly recommend it, especially to Lynn Erickson readers.
