Rose is the sweet and kind-hearted secretary to the cold, calculative and unbelievably hot CEO, Alec. She finds herself naked, covered with only his shirt, lying in his bed after a drunken night at a corporate party.  
She is enraged and blames him for taking advantage of her but Alec swears up and down that they hadn’t spent the night together. He doesn’t tell her the full story, to protect her from further embarrassment. She relents and ends up believing him. So, she was dumbfounded when she found out a couple weeks later that she is pregnant!  
Alec is surprised but equally happy when he finds out that Rose is pregnant with his child, the heir to the Xander Business Empire. The only issue? Rose believes that since they had never shared a bed, her ex-boyfriend must be the father instead. Her ex, the CEO of a failing rival company, shows up in hopes of ensnaring Rose back to him.  
How will the over-protective and over-possessive Alec react to some other man rubbing his hands all over the secret to-be mother of his child? Will he be able to tell his secret to Rose and still have a relationship left to enjoy?

The CEO's mystery heir

　　By Tuesday, Rose’s emotions had settled a bit. While subconsciously she had known that she would be keeping the baby, saying it out loud to Sarah had freed some of the fear and anxiety.


　　By Wednesday, she had accepted she was going to be a mom. A title that would remain with her forever.


　　By Thursday, her spirits had improved and she had stopped trying to feel sorry for herself.


　　And by the time Friday had arrived, Rose knew that while she had done the right thing by telling Derek about the baby, she did not want him to come to her house. That would lead to conflicted emotions and she did not want to build up her hopes on a man who had been happily cheating on her.


　　Saturday early morning, Derek arrives at the café Rose had suggested they meet at.
