About this item
A baby and a bride! You're cordially invited to celebrate the wedding of Stephanie McLane and Cole McKellar ... and the impending birth of their child! Free spirit Stephanie - aka Stevie - never expected to wed her good friend and neighbor, number-crunching Cole. But then she never expected to be pregnant and alone. Cole's offer of a marriage of convenience is the perfect arrangement. He's a widower who wants a child, and her baby needs a daddy. As Stevie's pregnancy hormones rage, Cole's got it all figured out. But the financial analyst has overlooked one detail: he is attracted to his wife - and the wedding night isn't part of their baby bargain. In six months they'll be parents ... but will they ever be a family?
