Jake Marriot had always been clear about the terms of his relationships—no marriage, no babies. So when Ashleigh Forrester found out she was pregnant with his child, she ran! But Jake's back. The billionaire has returned to convince Ashleigh that she belongs in his bed. But when he meets her little boy, the resemblance is too obvious to ignore. Jake no longer wants her as his mistress...but he'll buy her as his wife....

Trigger warning - child abuse in H's background
H was extremely NOT celibate during 4 year separation
This is a hard (emotional read)
There is a HEA / HFN ending,

One page has a tiny ew/ick factor, but that might be just me
blurb does not do justice to this book.
Seems more "chick flick" than romance

*Forresters - Melanie Milburne
1) ♤Secret Baby Bargain (Jake Marriot & Ashleigh Forrester)
2) ♡Virgin's Price (Bryn Dwyer & Mia Forrester)
3) NO book for Ellie/Eleanora (adopted sister)

Excerpts

No one he’d been with since—and there had been many


...  And ... ‘

  ‘You’ve probably had hundreds of lovers since then who have imprinted themselves indelibly on your sexual seismic register.’ 'Maybe—’ he gave a shrug of one shoulder
