A wealthy man who needs a fake fiancée to be taken seriously. A country beauty who desperately wants a baby. The fake fiancée proposition she agrees to in exchange for a baby bargain.

As a hard-nosed CEO, I’m not used to needing anyone or anything to feel complete. I’m too busy to date anybody seriously. But when a huge piece of property comes onto the market, I need my trust fund to buy it. The only problem is that to gain access to that money, I have to be engaged.

Finding my soulmate hasn’t exactly been my priority in life. But I don’t have to find Mrs. Right. All I have to do is buy a ring and figure out just who to ask to be the fake future Mrs. Right Now. When I drunkenly ask breathtaking beauty Pearl for a one night stand, it all falls right into my lap.

Bright, quirky, molten-brown eyes that I could drown in. Pearl has a lot of attributes to like. But it seems that self-determined Pearl needs something in return. A sperm donor. Pearl is baby crazy in the worst way and too impatient to meet her baby daddy the old-fashioned way.

So I make her a proposition. Pearl poses as my fiancée for three months. And in exchange, I get to have steamy, no-strings-attached sex with the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen until she’s knocked up.

I have big dreams that will one day take me out of this small town. And I’m not stupid, so I propose a set of rules to keep her from falling for me. No kissing or touching unless we are either in front of my family or about to have the best sex of my whole damn life.

Pearl and I can never be an item, no matter how good we look posing together for family pictures. There is a big fat secret surrounding the piece of property I’m trying to buy. When Pearl finds out about it, she’s going to hate me.

Until that moment though, I can’t get enough of her sultry moans, her throaty laugher, or her unbelievably soft skin. Caught in a trap of my own making, I’m a man driven by a need to possess the one woman that I cannot have.
