I turn to you, O Flist, because the Flist Knows All.

The book I'm looking for is (god, don't judge me!) one of the Harlequin-types. Like, SuperRomance, or, y'know, one of the slightly-racier-than-the-average-Harlequin-titles. (Silhouettes, I think. Like the Silhouettes Desire books.)

Premise/summary of the story: A couple separates due to marital misunderstandings and lack of time together. She goes to Colorado with their two kids (boy and girl) to stay with her mom in her childhood hometown (small ski-resort town). Turns out she's pregnant with kid #3, which her soon-to-be-ex finds out for sure when he shows up on the doorstep on Halloween, having driven from Los Angeles in an attempt to reconcile. Dad is a driven exec who has trouble unwinding and letting go, and eventually he takes on baking in an attempt to get rid of excess energy and so on. There are a couple of attempts by the kids to make it so their parents have to spend time together (most notable is when they trick Dad into the bathroom while Mom is taking a bath, then lock the door from the outside). Mom goes into labor on Christmas Eve in the midst of The Big Snowstorm. (And they live happily ever after.)

Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone? *hopes*

*note: I'm pretty sure I read it some time in the early-to-mid-90's, if that helps any.

She's hanging out now in the HP fandom. As a 25yr old guy named Andrew, who's on the run from the IRA (because he didn't want to join) and apparently dying of a 'rare heart defect'.

I'm glad she's never (so far) eyed SPN. We have enough wank without her help. *shakes head*

ETA: This is a link to an article run in the Willamette Week, covering the story.
