When Shay Flynn selected blueblood lawyer Adam Wickwire as the perfect father for the child she longed to have, she only saw one problem: how to seduce him into helping her get her wish-and then vanish forever from his life. Her parents' example had soured her on the institution of marriage... and in the scheme she'd hatched no one would get hurt, while she would know the joy of motherhood. At first everything went according to plan, and the weekend Shay and Adam spent in each other's arms was more wonderful than she'd ever thought possible. Then fate-and Adam Wickwire -- began to play havoc with her plot... and her emotions.
