Niall Caden HawthorneâCadeâlives an exacting, uncompromising life. His only priorities are, and always will be, his family and his business. Heâd do anything for them. This includes marrying a colorless, drab moth of a woman who leaves him physically and emotionally cold.
Fern Lambert is everything Cade has never wanted in a womanâtimid, sheltered, shockingly inexperienced, andâafter a night of uncharacteristically bad choicesâpregnant with his baby.
She is also the key to securing an elusive business contract that Cade has been after for nearly a year. Marrying her means giving up three years of his life, it means acknowledging a child that he never planned on havingâĤ it means complications and disruptions to his well-ordered life.
But Cade knows itâs the right thing to do. Itâs the only thing to do. That doesnât mean he has to like it.
Andâinexplicable fascination with her lush upper lip notwithstandingâit certainly doesnât mean he has to like her.
