Minneapolis, Minnesota – Present Day
Mary Kelley’s father is in trouble with the law, and the
only person who can help him is the man her father stole from, Ethan
Curtis. When Ethan presents a plan to drop the charges, but in exchange
Mary must bear a child with him, she is caught between a rock and
a hard place. Help her father…and sleep with the enemy? She
agrees, and when it comes time to pay up, Ethan forces her to make
a baby the old-fashioned way, by sleeping together.
Ethan grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, scorned by those
like the Kelley family. His plan is to have a baby by one of those
blue-blooded snobs and make them accept him. Ethan admires Mary
for her hard work and can’t help but desire her. He gets his
wish, Mary in his bed and the hope for the baby he wants. And if
it does succeed, can he walk away from Mary and take their child?
A stubborn couple may have to learn a word foreign to them: compromise.
The MILLIONAIRE’S CALCULATED BABY BID opens with Ethan and
Mary working on making the baby a reality, bringing readers literally
into the bedroom with them. Of course, we don’t really know
Mary or Ethan at this point, but in the next few chapters, we discover
two characters shaped by their childhood who are unwilling to open
up to the other, even though it’s quite obvious they’re
attracted. Mary has spent most of her life protecting her father,
even from her mother’s blue-blooded family. She feels Ethan
acquired her family’s business right out from under their
feet, making the arrogant bachelor number one on their hate list.
Yet, there is something about him that makes her body tingle with
desire, unable to resist him. Ethan just wants to prove he’s
just as good as the born-to-the-money rich, even if deep down, he
can’t get rid of his inner demons.
Mary and her partners, Olivia and Tess, run a wife for hire company,
which specializes in parties, and are part of the trio of tales
that comprise the No Ring Required series. Next up is Olivia’s
story, and I can’t wait to see what Laura Wright has in store
for her.
A man on the fringes of society calculating to enter the fold by
siring a child, but who ends up falling in love with the mother
of his child, makes this an enchanting tale. Run out today to grab
your copy of a MILLIONAIRE’S CALCULATED BABY BID.
