The Baby Arrangement

The Baby Arrangement

‘You’re asking me why I want to make you dinner?’Bree nodded. “Yes. Why do you want to have anything to do with me? All I’ve done is turn your world upside down. You should be enjoying this time before you have all the responsibilities of fatherhood.”Nick hadn’t thought about it that way, and he didn’t want to think about it that way. “I’m just as responsible for this situation as you are.” He turned off the engine and opened the car door. “Now, come on. Let’s go see what’s in my fridge to eat.”He came around to her side of the car and opened her door. He reached in to give her a hand as she got out and then, as if completely natural, she leaned into him and their lips met in a kiss.A kiss filled with promise for things to come.

A nine-month business deal

Bree Tucker’s company is her everything. So when she becomes pregnant after a fling, she knows she can’t be a mother. She has no room for a baby in her life and zero maternal instinct. But the father, Nick Harmon, vows to raise the child on his own. Fine by Bree. Thing is, he wants to be right by her side for the next nine months. That can only mean trouble. Nick makes her feel things no other man has. Surely her growing attraction to Nick is pregnancy hormones and not the idea that he’d make a wonderful dad...

Dear Reader (#ulink_d39a27ac-9c1d-57a1-be36-6988cc9c3a54),

Everyone has had those days. The ones where things don’t go as planned. A flat tire on the way to work. You need to pick up your sick child from school, so lunch with friends is out. A flight delay. But what if that unplanned event didn’t just shake up your day but your entire life?

That’s what happens to Bree in The Baby Arrangement. She sees her life one way, with no possibility of straying from her plan to put all her energy into her expanding company. And then she meets Nick...

I hope you enjoy this first book in my new series. Stay tuned for more stories about Bree’s friends. Visit lisadyson.com (http://www.lisadyson.com) to find out when they’ll be released.
