New York City – Present Day

Christos Diakis married Lana three years ago but it’s a marriage in name only. They don’t even share a residence. A marriage of convenience worked for them as it helped ward off unwanted sexual advances from the opposite sex. One night at a party, Lana seeks out Christos because she has an unexpected request. She has just learned that she is in the initial stages of menopause, and she now wants to have a baby. All he must do was provide the sperm and they’d do IVF to impregnate her. Having a baby together wasn’t part of their contract and Christos isn’t sure he wants to go along with her plan. Does he want to become a father? She insists that he doesn’t have to be a part of their child’s life. He then realizes that he wants their marriage contract to change. They will have a baby but create it the old-fashioned way. 

A sudden urge to have a baby upends a marriage in name only in PREGNANCY CLAUSE IN THEIR PAPER MARRIAGE. Lana and Christos have busy lives working at their respective companies. For Lana, she couldn’t get away from men who hit on her and expected to sleep with her as a requisite of continuing business arrangements. For Christos, he had women whom he slept with start pressuring him for commitment. After watching what happened to his family when his mother got sick and eventually died, he had no plans to have children. But Lana’s request throws him for a loop. He decides that not only does he like the idea of a baby but even better is the prospect of making love to his wife for the first time. Deep down, while they do not claim to love each other, there is an attraction between them. The foreplay leading up to the act sizzles on the pages of this emotionally charged tale. 

Readers will enjoy the interaction between Christos and Lana. They are extraordinarily successful people, but they have emotional scars from their childhood that have forced them to think relationships should be made using their brains and not their hearts. Bringing a baby into their relationship forces them to rethink their plans. A baby would bring them closer and cement their future, and it may end up resolving other family issues. In PREGNANCY CLAUSE IN THEIR PAPER MARRIAGE, we watch their marriage grow. Will Lana and Christos have the baby they want? Don’t miss out on what happens, grab a copy today.
