Except I don’t want love. I sure as heck don’t want another marriage.
But a baby? That I’m desperate for.
And I know exactly who can help me with that.
Simon has always been there for me. He listens to me. Supports me. Makes me feel like maybe I’m not as broken as I think I am. He wants me to be happy. To move beyond the pain of my past.
That’s why I’m shocked and more than a little disappointed when he doesn’t immediately agree to my offer.
Until he explains his conditions....
First comes love. Then comes marriage.
We all know how the rhyme ends.
Except I don’t want love. I sure as heck don’t want another marriage.
But a baby? That I’m desperate for.
And I know exactly who can help me with that.

That’s why I’m shocked and more than a little disappointed when he doesn’t immediately agree to my offer.
Until he explains his conditions. Then, I’m downright terrified.
There will be no single-motherhood for me if we do this. Simon wants not only in my bed, but also in my life.
I’m not sure that’s a deal I can make.
And when the past comes back to haunt me, I might not get the chance to decide.
