Will the billionaire dad wed the surrogate mom? Find out with USA TODAY bestselling author Yvonne Lindsay!
Kayla Porter vowed to be a surrogate for her deceased sister’s embryos. She’s already given birth to her niece Sienna. But a clinic crisis means she’s running out of time to fulfill her promise. She needs Donovan Murphy’s help—if they can work around the explosive chemistry that’s reignited between them!
The tech tycoon agreed to be a sperm donor, not a father. But that changes when he meets his baby daughter Sienna. He will claim his little girl…and her passionate, headstrong mother!
Kayla stopped the moment her eyes lit on him.
“Good to see you again, Van,” she said in that husky, come to bed voice of hers.
No, she hadn’t changed. Still with the flip attitude.
“I take it you’re the one upsetting my receptionist?”
He saw the surprised hurt reflected in her clear blue gaze and wished he’d thought before speaking.
But that was how it always was with Kayla. She brought out the worst in him.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “What can I do for you?”
A rapid pulse beat at the base of her throat, and he remembered just how silky soft her skin had been beneath his tongue, remembered just how she’d tasted. Desire heated his blood but he resisted, hard.
“Kayla, why are you here?”
She drew in a deep breath. “Like I said, I need your help.”
“And a phone call wouldn’t do?”
His secretary arrived in the doorway looking totally nonplussed, and no wonder, because she had a baby in her arms. A baby?
Van looked to Kayla. “Yours, I presume?”
And then the baby looked up and he was struck by the eyes that caught his.
“Yours, too, to be precise,” Kayla said softly.

Van slipped the ring into his breast pocket and snapped the lid closed on the jeweler’s box in his hand. The very large near-flawless white diamond was precisely what Dani would expect when he asked her to marry him at lunch today.
He knew that wasn’t all she was expecting. He cast an eye over the merger documents on his desk. The amalgamation of Dani’s family business, Matthews Electronics, and his DM Security would be a match made in corporate heaven. It only made sense to carry their relationship from the boardroom into the bedroom. They were kindred spirits—both focused on their business targets, both leading professional, uncluttered lives and neither of them wanting the burden of parenthood. Neither of them expected—or particularly wanted—passionate love and romance. But they’d share respect, attraction and compatible interests—and what more could he want than that? Yep, life was pretty much perfect for the boy who grew up never feeling like he belonged anywhere, and this ring would help seal the deal.
A subtle ping on his computer screen alerted him to a message from Reception. Using his Bluetooth earpiece, he connected to Anita—his dragon at the gate, as the rest of the staff called her.
“There’s a woman here to see you, Mr. Murphy. She doesn’t have an appointment but she is most insistent.”
He could hear the disapproval in every syllable of Anita’s perfect diction. Despite himself, Van felt a smile tug at his lips.
