Harmony Patton wants a baby without all those other strings attached. She’s convinced no one can ever love her unconditionally except a child. Foster homes taught her that people only love when there’s something in it for them.

At thirty-five, she’s worried she’s running out of time. But who can she ask? Her best friend, Seth Gardner.

Seth has been in love with Harmony for as long as he can remember. Harmony’s never let him close enough to give herself a chance to fall in love with him. So when she asks him to help make her dreams of becoming a mother come true, he agrees… with one condition. He wants her to have his baby as his wife. If after a year she wants out, she’s free to divorce him. But Seth’s not certain he can let her go. Is a year enough time to change her mind? Will she fall for him before it’s too late? Can he let her walk out of his life—with his child—if she decides to go?
