       CHAPTER ONE

      ‘WHAT I’M SAYING, Liz, is that someone has left a baby on your—my—’ she amended, aware that Liz had already corrected her twice so far this phone call ‘—desk!’

      ‘A baby?’ Liz parroted for the third time, and Olivia Grace Gilmour closed her eyes and dragged in a breath—a long, deep, calming breath. In through her nose and out through her mouth. No matter how much she might want to, she couldn’t take her twin to task for her incredulity. She could hardly believe it herself.

      Except seeing was believing.

      She peered once more into the baby carrier at the sleeping infant.

      ‘Livvy, I...’

      Liv waited but nothing else was forthcoming, and her heart rate kicked up another notch.

      ‘Where’s Judith?’

      Judith was Liz’s assistant. ‘She called in sick.’

      ‘Good.’

      ‘Good?’ She tried to keep the shrill note out of her voice.
