When a young successful woman is ready to get married and have a baby, all she needs is the perfect man to take his place at the altar.

When a handsome, wealthy man is being pressured by his father to produce a legitimate heir there isn’t anything he can do besides find a suitable lady with the right genes and upbringing to marry as soon as possible.

Donna Quinton never would have imagined marrying her older sister’s fiancé but when fate brings Gregory Marshall back into her life at the perfect time, how can she say no?

Neither of them is designed to maintain a long term relationship. But they need each other.

Match Made

Luckily enough for Donna, she had shows to attend and organize throughout the winter-spring season, so she didn’t see much of the eagle-eyed Mrs. Quinton or the equally observant and hopeful Mrs. Marshall. Even her friends didn’t have a chance to scrutinise as she only met with them after a long day when they were all too tired to notice any possible changes.


It wasn’t until the second trimester that Donna was lounging by the pool with Shirley when the latter said, “Are you gaining weight or is the bikini top shrinking?”


Donna smiled. “Probably I am getting a bit fatter. That’s what’s supposed to happen, right?”


“When what?” Shirley asked slowly, leaning forward.


Donna’s smile merely widened and she traced a spiral on her bare belly.


“Oh my goodness,” her best friend whispered. “You’re pregnant?”


Donna nodded and Shirley screamed in excitement.


“Wow. Oh my god! I’m so happy for you, Don. Oh my god,” she kept saying. She hugged her friend tight. “You lucky twit.”
