Fertilis Defect

Erin March has two constants in her life: a husband who loves her and a vicious disease that is killing her. Weak and resigned, her world is reduced to one of bleak exhaustion, living for the adventures of British TV by day and finding solace in her vivid dreams at night. At thirty-nine, time is running out, and the incapacitating symptoms tear at her existence with every unstable breath. Her doctor suggests an experimental treatment, and for once, Erin sees a future that expands beyond tomorrow. Despite the severely controversial procedures, she leaves the small-town comforts of Green Bay and flies to the intoxicating city of New Orleans to meet her treatment partner-a man pulled from the very depths of her fantasies. Their connection is instant, stirring emotions neither of them expected. As the first treatment draws to an end, Erin faces a decision that could destroy the life she is fighting to preserve. How will the pieces of the past fit into her future, and does she want them to? Book one of the Fertilis Defect series is a Women's Fiction love story that will bring you into the heart of the romantic French Quarter. It will take you on a journey of healing and discovery that will have you longing for more.

Erin March prayed that the first round of the Fertilis Defect treatments would be life-changing, but returning home in utter conflict was something she'd hoped to avoid. While fresh images of David Elliott and the five beautiful days spent in his arms dance through her mind, the man she dedicated her life to stands before her with a bleeding heart. Their marriage of nearly fifteen years is no longer the peaceful union they built together, and neither knows how to find the deep connection they once had as it falls apart around them. With only two weeks before her reunion with David, Erin struggles with her husband's need to rekindle their relationship. Todd knew the controversial treatments were his wife's only hope for survival, yet his growing resentment cannot be contained. When David arrives, things come to a head, and tempers fly. Ultimately, unplanned and unlikely events cause Erin to make the leave decision to leave Todd, and David sweeps her away to London and beyond. Erin tries to make the best of every obstacle thrown at them, but outside forces haunt their every step and threaten to tear them apart. After an emotional outburst that makes her question her every decision, Erin hits rock bottom. She must decide whether to stay in the UK or go back to America and take the time she needs to heal if she and David are to have a strong, loving future together when she returns.

With the start of the children's summer holiday from school, Erin and David decide to take a family trip to the U.S. After DCS Dawson's failed attempt to find illegal substances in the Elliott's London home, they are glad for the distraction. Following their adventure to Wisconsin, David begins filming in Dorset, where they enjoy the coastal path and sunny seaside. They host a last-minute, star-studded Bollywood birthday party, where they learn who are their friends and who are not. The pregnancy wears on and after a very trying misidentification and misunderstanding that lands her in the hospital, Erin learns an important lesson in trust. After a delightful Christmas, a momentous occasion, and an unforgettable New Years, the first of Erin's two due dates passes without so much as a contraction. Feeling disheartened, the family returns to London, where things progress faster than expected. With the birth of their child, Erin has never seen David as happy and delighted. They look forward to their future, watching their baby grow, unaware of the nefarious plans in the works.
