The Baby Plan
Susan Gable
What he wants…
…is a baby. A child of his own. Jake Manning more or less raised his younger siblings; he loves kids and knows he's a natural father. However, he's had zero success as a husband. So he comes up with a baby plan, one that requires a woman but not a wife.
What she needs…
…is money. Security. An education. A home. Harley Emerson might be a crack mechanic, but a false conviction makes jobs hard to come by. She has no family and few friends. Jake's proposition offers her a way to get what she needs. But before she'll agree to have his baby, Harley insists on two things: a marriage of convenience and an "old-fashioned" conception.
What they find…
…is love. Neither of them expected it. Neither knows what to do with it. But sometimes plans change—for the better. Sometimes you need more than you want—and want more than you need.
