Q Is For Quinn : The Alpha Ladies

Quinn is the toughest attorney in town, but past secrets and mistakes threaten her future.I am a highly respected and feared attorney. With the help of my father, I've spent all my life focusing on that dream. When he falls ill, I make a somewhat psychotic, frantic attempt of giving him a grandchild before he passes so he knows there will be more than just me to carry on his name. As my due date nears, secrets from the past haunt me and I reach out to a business acquaintance, Eva Jennings, to help me set right what I have done so wrong.Book Nine Excerpt: Eva laughed, "You are stunning, Quinn. You have the pregnancy glow about you." She followed me into the office then closed the door behind us. "You can't even tell you're pregnant from behind.""Maybe I should stand backwards to the mirror," I grinned and sat behind my desk and leaned back to give the baby lots of room. My office was large with a small conference table to the left of me and two chairs and a couch to the right. I also had my own private restroom which has come in quite handy the last couple months."How far along are you?" She sat in the chair across from me and crossed those long legs that were encased in skinny jeans and knee-high boots. Her blue shirt under the black vest made her eyes even bluer. Damn, she made me feel fat."Forty weeks...or eight and a half months; I'm due November eleventh." "Eleven, eleven..." She smiled. "Lucky numbers?"I huffed internally and raised my brows. "Well, let's hope so." Her eyes narrowed slightly. "What does that mean? Is something wrong with the baby?"Wow, she was quick; almost on the mark. "Not the baby; me." I sighed and relaxed back into the chair. Her head tilted and lips opened slightly in a worried gasp. "Quinn? What's wrong?" She leaned forward and placed her arms on top of the desk. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I had to keep calm for the baby. The doctor kept reinforcing how bad my stress was for him or her. After a few deep calming breathes, I opened my eyes and saw her watching me intently. "This is the first time I am saying this out loud...or even talking...well, admitting this to anyone." I paused. "This conversation stays between us.""Absolutely," She nodded firmly. I sat up as best as I could, "Eva, this is huge to me...highly confidential. No one else can know until I'm ready.""Quinn, you can trust me with anything. I'll be here for you." We stared into each other's eyes a moment until my heart told me to believe her."OK," I nodded and relaxed back into the chair. "I'm not proud of this...at all. The only good thing about what I am about to tell you is this baby." I lay my hand over my enlarged abdomen. She leaned back, crossed her legs again and watched me intently.
