The Surgeon's Baby

Kathleen Ryder

The trauma surgeon, dedicated to his work...



Ivan has spent the better part of a decade working in the harshest regions of the world. A talented trauma surgeon, he has dedicated his life to making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than himself.


With his father's health deteriorating, his mother wants him settled at home, preferably with a wife by his side!


Ivan knows that pampering to the rich clients of his father's cosmetic surgery practice would make both of his parents very happy, but could he ever settle for such a life?


The single woman, chasing a miracle...



Emma has spent the better part of her life in the shadow of her younger sister, unseen by most. Her job at the switchboard of the local hospital is fast paced and fulfilling, but she returns to an empty home each night.


With her biological clock ticking, Emma takes the plunge and flies interstate to undergo a round of IVF treatment using an unknown donor.


Emma knows this is her only chance, her savings depleted, all of her hopes rest on this single procedure.


A clinical error...



When a clinical error sees Emma accidentally inseminated with a sample Ivan provided decades before, their worlds collide.


Ivan has no intention of allowing Emma to raise his child without him, convinced that she is a manipulative schemer.


Emma has no intention of allowing Ivan to interfere, she doesn't care how much money he has, no arrogant surgeon with a reputation for being a ladies man is going to tell her how to live her life!


A way forward...


Calling a truce, Emma and Ivan forge a tentative friendship for the sake of their unborn child.


When his mother's interference has catastrophic consequences, will Ivan and Emma's relationship be fractured forever, or will they be brave enough to stand up and fight for what they want?
