A Billionaire’s Baby Plan
Desmond Pierce wants a child—but the conventional route won’t do for the reclusive inventor. Enter McKenna Moore, a medical student willing to be a surrogate mom...and to marry by proxy without ever meeting her husband. But when the baby’s health requires McKenna to not only face Desmond but also live with him, their chemistry explodes. Soon McKenna is in his bed, where he wants her to stay. But saying yes to making their marriage real puts McKenna’s dreams at risk—and forces Desmond to reevaluate everything he’s ever wanted...
McKenna pulled back.
But Desmond still had her trapped between his body and the table. Her pulse thundered in her ears as they stared at each other.
“That was...”
“Amazing?” he supplied, his gaze hot. “Yeah. But I’m sensing we’re going to stop now.”
“See, we communicate just fine.” She gulped. “I’m just...not sure this is a good idea.”
They were not two people who had the luxury of an uncomplicated fling. They were married with a divorce agreement already hammered out. That was not a recipe for experimentation, and she wasn’t much of an experimenter anyway.
Where could this possibly go?
“Oh, it’s a good idea.” His piercing gaze tore her open inside as he promised her exactly how good it would be without saying a word. “But we both have to think so.”
With that, he stepped back, releasing her.
She took a deep breath and nodded. He was being gentlemanly about it, putting all the balls in her court. “I agree. And I don’t think that right now.”
Her mind didn’t, at least. Even if her body did.
