A woman who wants to satisfy her husband's desperation for a child and a man who wants nothing to do with romance but desperately needs a successor for his huge empire, what could possibly go wrong?
When desperation meets opportunity, the consequences can be devastating. Tessa, driven by her husband's relentless pressure to conceive, undergoes fertility testing at a hospital. But a catastrophic mistake sets off a reaction that changes everything: Tessa discovers she's carrying another man's child.
Torn between terminating the pregnancy and facing the unknown, Tessa's world is turned upside down when the child's father emerges - Ian Banks, the enigmatic CEO of Apex Motors and her husband's powerful boss. As Ian's true intentions unfold, Tessa finds herself tempted by his offers: a life of luxury, security, and passionate love.
But as the lines between right and wrong blur, Tessa must confront the ultimate question: will she risk everything for a chance at happiness with the one man she can't resist, or will she succumb to the expectations of those around her?
