She wants a baby. He wants a family. They hate each other. A snowstorm and one very bad idea later—here they are.
Allison Styles has waited her whole life to be a mom.
But after a marriage to a cheater, a divorce that drained her savings, and an *epic* sperm bank disaster…she’s running out of time and options to have a baby.
After an ice storm traps them in Bloom, an unthinkable offer comes from the one man in Fairwick Falls she hates.
The only man she’d willingly push in front of a bus (if Fairwick Falls had buses)—Wells Maroo, a smug, handsome divorce lawyer whose only redeeming quality is his ability to make Allison’s 6 foot height feel dainty.
Wells Maroo is back in Fairwick Falls to fix the diner he bought on impulse, while dodging the 6 foot goddess he despises.
Being around his mom and Pop 24/7, Wells finally admits what he wants: a family.
When no surrogate agency will touch an anti-marriage, single, overworked lawyer, Wells makes Allison an offer that’s reckless, inappropriate, and impossible to ignore.
Use their undeniable physical attraction to make a baby. The old-fashioned way.
No dating. No love. No future entanglements beyond shared custody, financial security, and a very clear contract.
Forever.
