Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale

The Duke of Jervaulx was brilliant – and dangerous. Considered dissolute, reckless, and extravagant, he was transparently referred to as the "D of J" in scandal sheets. But sometimes, the most womanizing rakehell can be irresistible, and even his most causal attentions fascinated the sheltered Maddy Timms. Maddy knows it is her destiny to help him and her only chance to find the true man behind the wicked facade.

Nobody’s Baby But Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Jane’s super-intelligence made her feel like a freak, and she’s determined to spare her own child that suffering. Cal Bonner, the Chicago Stars’ legendary quarterback, seems like the perfect choice. Dr. Jane is about to learn a little too late that this good ol’ boy is a lot smarter than he lets on – and he’s not about to be used and abandoned by a brainy, baby-mad schemer.
