Jennifer has just started a new job in a new town when she discovers she's pregnant by her ex. She goes to her new employer and tells him her condition. She expected to be fired when he surprises her and asks her to go to lunch with him. Dwight tells her he is sterile but none of his family knows his condition. He explains he wants a family. A woman he can respect and possibly love. He wants to go to sleep with her beside him and have her in is arms when he awakes. He wants children. He thinks they could make a go of it
Although Jennifer is surprised, she knows an abortion is out of the question and she knows she couldn't give her child up. His proposition has some merit. He convinced her the love will come time, or at least respect. After thinking about it, she finally gives in and agrees to his offer.
To make it seem the child is his, they marry in under two weeks. She meets his family at her wedding for the first time.
The process of getting to know each other causes misunderstandings on her part. Then the time comes when she sees Dwight and a woman exiting a hotel. It is a wake-up call for her. She discocvers she is in love with her husband. But he doesn't love her. A sharp pain causes her chest to hurt.
In public they try to act as newlywed do. But in private Jennifer keeps away from him. Dwight is confused and finally forces her to sit so they can talk. Dwight explains that the woman she saw him with was his analyst. Their make-up sex is slow and sweet.
They find out that she is having more than one child. Both are ecstatic. They move to a house in the country that Dwight owns but has never lived in. Jennifer buys furniture and then starts on the nursery.
The time comes when Dwight sits her down again and tells her that he wants to talk to her about money. When Jennifer tells him she will cut back on her spending he explains that he is just shy of being a billionaire. Jennifer is shocked she never thought about that. It seems he owns several businesses and wanted her to know.
Trouble comes in from her past to cause trouble. Dwight and his family is there for her.
This is a stand along book with an HEA ending.
